Understanding Your Options: Is Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Best for Your Situation?

Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13: Which is Right for You?

Chapter 7:
Wipes out most unsecured debts, but may require the liquidation of non-exempt assets. Typically, this is the faster option and is best for individuals with limited income.

Chapter 13:
Involves a repayment plan that allows you to keep your assets, but requires you to repay debts over 3 to 5 years under court supervision.

Which Option Fits Your Financial Goals?
Choosing between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 depends on your income, your type of debt, and how much property you want to protect. Let us help you make an informed decision. Contact Nick Davis Law at (936) 262-7474.
