Practice Areas
Understanding Chapter 13
In the realm of bankruptcy law, Chapter 13 proceedings provide individuals with a viable means to address their debt while retaining their assets and creating a manageable repayment plan. At Troy Powell Law Firm, we specialize in assisting clients through Chapter 13 proceedings, offering expert legal counsel, guidance, and representation to achieve favorable outcomes.
Eligibility for Chapter 13
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is typically suited for individuals with a steady income who want to reorganize their debt into a repayment plan. This allows debtors to retain their property and make monthly payments on an extended timeline. Our experienced attorneys carefully assess your financial situation to evaluate your eligibility for Chapter 13 proceedings.
The Chapter 13 Process
Chapter 13 proceedings involve several important stages:
Filing the Petition
The Chapter 13 process commences with filing a petition, which includes detailed financial information, a repayment plan, and other relevant documents. Our legal team guides you through the petition preparation and ensures all necessary forms are completed accurately and promptly.
Automatic Stay
Upon filing your Chapter 13 petition, an automatic stay is imposed, providing immediate relief from creditor actions such as foreclosures, repossessions, and wage garnishments. This stay offers breathing room to develop a suitable repayment plan.
Credit Counseling
Before the repayment plan is confirmed, debtors are required to undergo credit counseling with an approved agency. Our attorneys assist you in finding an approved agency and ensure all necessary counseling requirements are met.
Confirmation Hearing
A confirmation hearing is conducted to review and approve the proposed repayment plan. Our legal team represents you during this crucial stage, advocating for a favorable plan that aligns with your financial circumstances.
Repayment Plan Execution
Once the repayment plan is confirmed, you begin making payments to a Chapter 13 trustee who distributes the funds to your creditors. Payments are made over a period of three to five years, based on your unique financial situation.
Completion of the Plan
Upon successful completion of the repayment plan, any remaining eligible debts are typically discharged. Our skilled lawyers ensure that all necessary documentation is prepared and submitted to the court for the final discharge of your debts.
