Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 wipes out most unsecured debts after selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 lets you keep your property and pay debts through a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. Your lawyer can help you choose the right option based on your income and assets.
How long does bankruptcy take in California?
A Chapter 7 case usually takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The court in Los Angeles County may have specific local timelines.
Can I keep my home in Manhattan Beach if I file for bankruptcy?
California allows a homestead exemption that protects up to 300,000 dollars of equity in your home for most people. If your equity is within that limit, you can keep your home in Chapter 7. Chapter 13 also lets you keep your home if you catch up on missed payments.
