PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The first step in any bankruptcy is making a detailed list of all personal assets, including real estate. All outstanding debts should also be listed, including debts that are in good standing. Total debt still matters in a bankruptcy case, even though the need for bankruptcy protection can come from a single factor or creditor. The itemized list should be complete, including locating tax returns for the past two years at least. This can be done with help from a bankruptcy attorney who understands the details that may impact developing a workable repayment plan.

THE FLORIDA MEANS TEST

Bankruptcy in St. Petersburg begins with completing the state financial means test. The test will provide an income evaluation and is measured against the average median income in Florida. The test can have a greater filing impact for individuals who earn above the standard state income level, as the result will determine which chapter of bankruptcy is appropriate.

This qualification is very important for individuals who have a home needing protection through the bankruptcy process. Accurate income information is a must in every case.

An acceptable repayment plan should also be reasonable in ability to complete. Repayment agreements range from three to five years and must be completed for maximum debt discharge. All Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings require a five-year repayment plan.

ST. PETERSBURG EXEMPTION PROTECTION

Florida bankruptcy laws list specific exemptions that may protect certain personal assets. The chapter of bankruptcy allowed will determine that protection, as individual filers will use either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 7 generally addresses unsecured debt, while Chapter 13 deals with protecting assets. This difference in chapters primarily protects real estate holdings when a repayment plan is accepted by the court, which is a central requirement in a Chapter 13 filing.

The St. Petersburg exemptions list is significant and includes some specific personal property. This is another part of the filing where an experienced bankruptcy attorney can help develop a plan for maximum protection.

Bankruptcy in Florida may be the best choice for individuals who have recently moved to the state. Residency rules require individuals to file in the state in which they have lived the biggest portion of the past 180 days. The 91-day requirement can be achieved while the plan is being considered in most cases. Florida bankruptcy laws may protect more assets than previous residence states, and the median income may also be higher in Florida. This could be an advantage for individuals who have relocated for employment reasons.

Regardless of the personal situation, anyone in Florida needing to file bankruptcy should call Berkowitz & Myer today at (727) 344-0123 or fill out the form for an honest and dependable assessment for a bankruptcy repayment plan that exempts the most personal property while eliminating as much of your debt as possible.
