Here is some info on a chapter 7 bankruptcy in Fl. However, you do need to talk to a bankruptcy attorney for help/assistance with the bankruptcy should you decide to file. He/she can answer all your questions.
A Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding is available to individuals, partnerships, and corporations. The debtor is allowed to keep exempt assets. For individuals filing bankruptcy in Florida, the exemptions are primarily determined by Florida law. They include the debtor’s homestead, (subject to a cap of $125,000.00 in equity if owned less than 1215 days), a debtor’s interest, not to exceed $1,000.00 in a single motor vehicle, a debtor’s interest in any professionally prescribed health aids, monies paid into the Prepaid Post-Secondary Education Expense Trust Fund, and $1,000.00 per individual in miscellaneous personal property. Certain other assets such as the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, annuity contracts, IRA’s and pension plans may be exempt also. All non-exempt assets must be turned over to the Chapter 7 trustee for liquidation and distribution to creditors.
For individuals filing Chapter 7, most debts, including some tax obligations, are discharged. Some debts, including recent tax obligations, trust fund obligations, child support and alimony generally cannot be discharged. Other debts may not be discharged if the creditor can prove improper conduct on the part of the debtor.
