Bankruptcy is the condition in which a person finds himself/herself not able to pay their debts as they become due and is therefore liable under the legal provisions of San Francisco bankruptcy law. The legal effect of bankruptcy law is to divert most of the debtor’s assets and debts to the administration of a trustee from which outstanding debts are paid.
The following are explanations of select subjects included in bankruptcy law:
CHAPTER 7
(Found within Bankruptcy Law)
Chapter 7 is the provision most commonly used by individuals. It involves the absolute liquidation of a debtor’s property to pay off the debts owed. With a Chapter 7 provision you may lose your home, but will be able to get out of debt more quickly.
CHAPTER 11
(Found within Bankruptcy Law)
Chapter 11 is typically used for business bankruptcies and restructuring. It allows businesses to reorganize themselves, giving them an opportunity to restructure debt and get out of certain leases and contracts. Normally, a business is allowed to continue to operate while it is in Chapter 11 under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and its appointees.
CHAPTER 12
(Found within Bankruptcy Law)
Chapter 12 allows farmers with real estate debts to pay off the debts from the profits generated by future crops.
CHAPTER 13
(Found within Bankruptcy Law)
Chapter 13 is a type of provision in which consumers work out a periodic payment plans with their creditors to pay off all or most of their debts. One of the more important benefits of Chapter 13 is that the debtor generally can continue to live in their home as long as he/she complies with the terms of the Chapter 13 agreement. The disadvantage of this is that debts can linger for years.
