Filing bankruptcy in Woodland Hills NATHAN A BERNEMAN


THE PROCESS IS RATHER COMPLICATED, BUT WITH THE RIGHT STEPS AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING, ANYONE CAN DO IT.


How Do I File Bankruptcy in Woodland Hills? FIRST, IF YOU ARE FILING IN AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE SPECIFIC LAWS ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DEFAULT ON, WHAT SORT OF DEBT YOU CAN CLAIM OR WHAT THE AMOUNT OF DEBT YOU CAN CLAIM IS, THIS CAN ALL IMPACT YOUR FILING.

TO FILE YOU MUST FIRST FILL OUT YOUR PAPERWORK AND CERATE A CASE SO THAT IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT IS OPPOSED TO THE FILING, THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO COME FORWARD AND STATE THEIR OWN CASE. YOU MUST ALSO FILL OUT THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK, YOU NEED TO TAKE THE RELEVANT COURSES TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT YOUR FINANCES AND THINK ABOUT NEXT STEPS, AND THEN YOU FILE AND WAIT FOR YOUR CREDITORS TO COME FORWARD IF THEY WANT TO IN ORDER TO CHALLENGE THE BANKRUPTCY.


Can I File Bankruptcy Without Going to Court in Woodland Hills? IN MOST CASES YOU DO HAVE TO SHOW UP FOR COURT AT LEAST ONCE, SOMETIMES TWICE. THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS A CREDITOR THAT WANTS TO FIGHT YOUR FILING, THEY HAVE A SCHEDULED TIME AND A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN SHOW UP AND FIGHT THE BANKRUPTCY.

THIS ALSO ALLOWS THE JUDGE AND YOUR LAWYERS TO FILE THE NECESSARY LEGAL PAPERWORK TO MAKE YOUR BANKRUPTCY LEGAL AND BINDING AND TO CREATE A COURT RECORD OF THE PROCEEDINGS.


How Much Cash Can You keep When Filing Chapter 7 in Woodland Hills? YOU CAN KEEP AROUND $25,000 IN CASH IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DURING BANKRUPTCY AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING AND YOU CAN KEEP ASSETS AS WELL. IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY AND YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE PERSON LIVING WITH YOU, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP A LARGER HOUSE THAN YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE A SINGLE PERSON. IN CALIFORNIA YOU CAN KEEP A HOME WORTH UP TO $600,000 IN SOME CASES AND YOU CAN REAFFIRM YOUR DEBT REGARDING THOSE HOMES IF YOU WANT TO.


Can I Keep My Car If I file Chapter 7 in Woodland Hills? IN MOST CASES, YES. IF YOU HAVE A CAR THAT IS WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, ODDS ARE THAT CAR IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOLD TO TRY AND RECOUP SOME OF THE MONEY YOU OWE. YOU CAN KEEP A CAR HOWEVER SO THAT YOU CAN GET AROUND AND SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE LIVING LIFE.

THERE IS A $3,525 EXEMPTION FOR VEHICLES IN CALIFORNIA SO IF YOUR CAR DOES NOT EXCEED THAT AMOUNT BY A GREAT DEAL, YOU ARE MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT.
