Business Bankruptcy

The Bankruptcy law is a federal statutory law contained in Title 11 of United States code. There are two basic types of Bankruptcy, Chapter 7 is the most common and is called Liquidation. A chapter 7 filing involves the appointment of a trustee who collects the non-exempt property of the debtor, sells it and distributes the proceeds among the creditors. The second type of Bankruptcy is filing under chapter 11,12, or 13 and differs from chapter 7 by allowing the debtor to use future earnings to pay off creditors. Bankruptcy allows a person or company in debt to have their assets distributed among their creditors thus freeing them of any financial obligation to the creditors after their assets have been distributed even if their debts have not been paid in full. Filing for Bankruptcy should be done only as a last resort to solve financial problems.
