Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Florida homestead exemption in bankruptcy?
Florida has an unlimited homestead exemption for real property up to one half acre in a municipality or 160 acres elsewhere. This means you may be able to keep your home in bankruptcy if you meet the requirements. The exemption applies to property used as your primary residence.
How long does a Chapter 7 bankruptcy take in Florida?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Florida typically takes about three to four months from filing to discharge. You must complete a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after filing. The court will review your assets and income to determine eligibility.
Can I file bankruptcy without a lawyer in Lehigh Acres?
You can file pro se without a lawyer but it is not recommended. Bankruptcy laws in Florida are complex and mistakes can lead to case dismissal or loss of property. A lawyer can help you navigate exemptions and paperwork correctly.
