Boston Legal Help - The Bankruptcy Process

What are the steps involved in a bankruptcy?

When you are considering bankruptcy, it is important that your first step is to consult with a Boston bankruptcy attorney. Your legal counsel can help to review the question of filing Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 . Which option is best for you depends on your eligibility, the amount and types of debt you hold, your assets and your goals and priorities regarding your finances. Once this is determined, your attorney can prepare and file all the paperwork necessary. This is a significant undertaking requiring attention to detail and precision, so working with a knowledgeable lawyer is vital.

Approximately 30 to 40 days after the filing, you will need to attend the First Meeting of Creditors, at which you will be asked to answer questions regarding your debts, assets, petition and such subjects. This is simply to ensure there are no indications of fraud and is usually a simple process. Your legal counsel can help to prepare you for this meeting and also attend with you. In most cases, that is all that is needed and after another 60 to 75 days, the court will issue a discharge of debts, cancelling all your qualifying balances.
