Debtors should disclose all assets on the bankruptcy schedules, and failure to do so can result in the denial of discharge. If a debtor discovers or remembers an asset was not properly disclosed on the bankruptcy schedules, even if the asset is discovered years later, the debtor should amend the schedules to properly disclose the asset.

I often reflect on what it would be like for prospects researching which Minnesota bankruptcy law firm to use. There are many claiming to be the best and hey, choose me, choose me! It leaves a prospect to wonder who they should reach out to in the sea of bankruptcy attorneys.

The prospect of having to go to court can be intimidating and often deters people from filing for bankruptcy, despite the fact that it can bring them tremendous relief from their creditors. Just the thought of having to appear in front of a judge to explain one’s situation and request relief from bankruptcy court from one’s personal debts can seem like a daunting endeavor. The good news is that this scenario is extremely rare, and nowadays, a person can file for bankruptcy, and receive a discharge of their debts, without even having to physically set foot in a courtroom!

I can recall years ago attending a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy hearing. These hearings are like cattle calls where there are large numbers of debtors waiting to appear before a Chapter 7 Trustee who is responsible for administering your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. Typically, 4-6 hearings are held each half hour.

An extremely common question in consultations for bankruptcy is whether all credit accounts will close after filing. Most attorneys will advise you that even if the account is at $0 prior to filing or excluded off of a case, it likely will still close.

When you file bankruptcy all of your creditors will be informed of the date, time, and instructions for your 341 hearing. The 341 hearing, also known as the meeting of creditors, is your creditors chance to ask specific questions about the information in your case. Although most creditors do not show up for the 341 hearing, some may.

You don’t have to reflect on life very long to realize your best plans don’t always work out the way you intended. Who among us wants to be let go from a high paying job? Who among us would love for our business to be an epic fail right from the start? Who among us wants to get married hoping your spouse will turn out to be an epic turd?

A client may be judicially estopped from asserting a cause of action not disclosed on the bankruptcy schedules or otherwise mentioned in the disclosure statements.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a three to five year repayment plan, whereby a debtor pays as much as he or she can afford each month and receives a bankruptcy discharge of their remaining debts after successfully completing their plan payments.

Filing either a chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy case is a great option for many Minnesotans who are struggling to pay their debts.

Filing a personal bankruptcy case is a great way for Minnesotans to manage, and eliminate, large amounts of debt. When a person successfully completes a chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy case, they receive a discharge from the bankruptcy court, legally forgiving all of their debts, with certain limited exceptions (ie most types of tax debt, child support, student loans, and etc.)

A Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy are great ways for individuals to manage debt and pay down debt that has become untenable and overwhelming. In bankruptcy, most types of debts are dischargeable – this means that once a debtor successfully completes their bankruptcy case, the bankruptcy court will discharge, or legally wipe out the debt forever.

Bankruptcy is a powerful tool that enables thousands of Minnesotans to deal with, and eliminate, overwhelming debt, every year. In exchange for the debtor (what you call a person who files for bankruptcy) receiving this tremendous benefit, the bankruptcy court has an obligation to make sure all creditors are treated fairly.

Individuals may file for bankruptcy for themselves or jointly with a spouse. Bankruptcy allows for the discharge of debt. “Discharge” means that the debt becomes legally forgiven and wiped out forever, without the individual paying it. It makes sense for spouses to file together when they each have a lot of debt. For instance, both spouses may have a lot of credit cards in their names individually, or joint credit cards.
