Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Chapter 7 wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test based on Massachusetts median income. Chapter 13 creates a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years and is better if you have a steady income and want to keep assets like your home.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Rockland?
A Chapter 7 case in Massachusetts typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last the length of your repayment plan, usually 3 to 5 years. All cases are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Yes, you may keep your home if you can continue making mortgage payments and the equity is covered by Massachusetts exemptions. Massachusetts offers a homestead exemption of up to $500,000 for your primary residence. A lawyer can help you calculate your equity and exemptions.
