Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts, but you may need to sell non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3-to-5-year repayment plan. Massachusetts has specific exemptions that protect certain property, such as up to $500,000 in home equity under the homestead exemption.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Topsfield?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years. The Topsfield area falls under the Boston division of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, so court appearances are held in Boston.
Will I lose my house if I file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Not necessarily. Massachusetts has a generous homestead exemption that protects up to $500,000 of equity in your primary residence if you file the homestead declaration. A bankruptcy lawyer can help you determine if your home is protected under state or federal exemptions.
