Utah Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legal process that is available to debtors, offering them the opportunity to eliminate or restructure debt and therefore get a fresh financial start. With today's struggling economy and the many foreclosures that homeowners throughout Utah are currently facing, bankruptcy has become a topic that is all the more important for a debtor to understand.

Generally, there are two primary types of bankruptcy that an individual may consider. Chapter 7, often referred to as "liquidation", involves the surrender of eligible assets to the bankruptcy court to pay off a portion or all of the individual's debt. Chapter 13, also called "reorganization", involves creating a repayment plan to pay off part or all of the debtor's obligations. The end result of either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filing in Utah will be the successful discharge of all of an individual's eligible debt.

There are benefits to both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. How filing for bankruptcy in Utah may affect you and your family is an important issue to address, and a Salt Lake City bankruptcy lawyer at our law offices can help.
