Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy are available in Taunton Massachusetts?
Individuals in Taunton typically file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy which discharges most unsecured debts or Chapter 13 bankruptcy which sets up a repayment plan over three to five years. Both options require you to pass a means test and complete credit counseling. A lawyer can help you decide which chapter fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Taunton?
A Chapter 7 case usually takes about three to four months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last the duration of the repayment plan which is typically three to five years. The Taunton Division of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts handles all local cases.
Will I lose my house if I file for bankruptcy in Taunton?
Massachusetts has generous homestead exemptions that can protect up to $500,000 of equity in your primary residence if you file the homestead declaration properly. In Chapter 7 you may keep your home if your equity is within the exemption limit. In Chapter 13 you can catch up on missed mortgage payments through the repayment plan.
