Effective Debt Relief Through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief is the most common form of bankruptcy. At the Mathews Group, LC, in Leawood, Kansas, we help small businesses, individuals and married couples in Kansas and Missouri obtain a fresh financial start under the Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 7 is a streamlined process that allows people to eliminate high credit card balances, medical debts, payday loans and many other kinds of debt.

Many Assets Are Protected In Kansas And Missouri

Chapter 7 is frequently called a liquidation bankruptcy. As a result, many people fear that they will lose all of their assets in seeking legal debt relief. The truth of the matter is that most individuals or married couples who file for personal bankruptcy relief keep most, or all of their possessions. Both Kansas and Missouri provide exemptions that serve to protect property from liquidation.

Exemptions exist in each state to protect equity in specified amounts for a wide variety of property, including:

  • Your car
  • Your home
  • Tools of the trade
  • Household goods and furnishings
  • Retirement benefits
  • Jewelry
