Indiana Bankruptcy Law and State Exemptions

In your primary consultation with your Indiana bankruptcy attorney you will learn all of the distinctive differences from Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Throughout this consultation your bankruptcy attorney in Indiana will ask you many personal finance questions or provide you with a profile sheet to list specific details regarding your financial history. The answers you provide should assist you and your attorney in deciding if filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is right for you.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation since the bankruptcy trustee may sell or auction non-exempted property (see State Exemptions list below).

However, in the majority of Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, the debtor filing bankruptcy owns no non-exempt property, so this would not apply to the majority of filings. If you do not own much property or have many assets Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the best choice since you would be allowed to discharge most of your unsecured debt.

Before filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy please discuss your situation with an Indiana bankruptcy attorney to determine exactly how much property may be exempt from liquidation.

Indiana State Exemptions

Homestead

Up to $15,000, includes farm, condo, personal property or cooperative properties.

Wages

Up to 75 percent of weekly disposable earnings.

Personal Property

1. $300 for “intangible personal property.”
2. 100 percent of the value of professional health aids.
3. Up to $8,000 in other real estate and tangible personal property.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is widely known as “reorganization”. Individuals filing Chapter 13 may own more property and by filing Chapter 13 may also retain the majority of their assets.

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the debtor draws up a proposal for a repayment plan for a term of 3 to 5 years, which must be approved by a bankruptcy court. This installment plan enables the debtor to repay outstanding bills.
