Frequently Asked Questions
What is the means test for bankruptcy in Utah?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a Utah household of your size. If your income is below the median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you may need to file Chapter 13. Your lawyer can calculate this for you.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit in Utah?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply in all states, including Utah.
What property can I keep in a Utah bankruptcy?
Utah allows you to use state exemptions to protect certain property. You can keep up to $5,000 in equity in a vehicle and up to $30,000 in equity in your home. Personal property exemptions also apply. Your lawyer can explain which assets are safe.
