When you file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Nashville, you likely will not receive a discharge until the completion of your repayment plan. Since Chapter 13 lasts for three to five years, one or more financial circumstances may arise to interfere with your repayment plan.

The bankruptcy process involves looking at your assets. In a Chapter 7, or liquidation bankruptcy, some of your property may not be protected, and you could lose it. Every state has different property exemption rules. Most Chapter 7 filings are what we call a “no asset” case. However, after you file, a bankruptcy trustee will review your list of exempted assets to determine whether or not you have the right to protect the claimed property.
