Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Lake County residents with high income, real estate, or valuable assets may need to file chapter 13 bankruptcy. In chapter 13 bankruptcy clients can usually keep their valuable property. In exchange, clients will commit to a 3 to 5-year repayment plan in which they will pay a Court-appointed Trustee their disposable income for that time period. Upon completion of the repayment plan, certain remaining unsecured debts will be eliminated.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is not right for everyone. Clients with unstable or insufficient income may not be able to complete their 3 to 5-year repayment plans and eliminate their remaining unsecured debts.
