WHAT IS BANKRUPTCY?

Federal bankruptcy eliminates insolvency, providing a debtors fresh start.  To initiate a bankruptcy proceeding, individuals or business entities file a petition along with a statement of assets and debts owed to creditors. Through bankruptcy, the debtor must relinquish certain property and may retain possession of certain “exempt property”  available under federal and state law.  Property exemptions available depend on where the bankruptcy is filed.
