Guiding You to Calmer Waters
When you file bankruptcy, many of your assets are protected by bankruptcy exemptions. When an asset is “exempt,” creditors cannot take it to pay your debts.
Examples of exempt assets include:
- Home equity up to a certain value
- A car up to a certain value
- Pensions, 401(k) and IRA accounts up to $1 million
- Tools up to a certain value
- Household belongings, such as furniture and appliances, up to a certain value
- Jewelry up to a certain value
- Cash up to a certain amount
Unless you own multiple homes, multiple cars or valuable collectibles, most or all of your assets will be protected. Our lawyers will review your assets and let you know if you have anything you risk losing. If you have assets you would lose by filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can keep those assets and still obtain debt relief by filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
If you are being hounded by debt collectors, filing bankruptcy may be the best way to protect your assets and secure the fresh start you deserve.
When you file bankruptcy in West Virginia, you can choose between our state’s bankruptcy exemptions and those offered under federal law. Our lawyers will review your assets and help you choose the exemptions that offer you the best protection.
