Many people make emergency withdrawals from 401(k) and IRA accounts to pay bills without realizing there is a better way out of debt. If you file bankruptcy, you can eliminate debt while keeping your retirement savings intact.
At Goldman & Beslow, LLC, our attorneys have more than 40 years of experience helping consumers eliminate debt and get a fresh financial start. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your financial situation and answer your questions. We offer services in Kearny, Hudson County and other New Jersey communities.
Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Kearny
When you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, federal and New Jersey laws allow you to keep many of your personal assets, including:
- A vehicle up to a certain value
- Pension plans, 401(k) accounts and IRAs
- Life insurance policies up to a certain cash value
- Personal and household belongings up to a certain value
Most people who file Chapter 7 bankruptcy lose nothing but their debts. Our lawyers will review your income, your debts and your assets, and determine if a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is right for you.
Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Kearny
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is not for everyone. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be a better option for you if:
- Your earnings are too high to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- You have valuable assets that you would lose in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- You want to stop a home foreclosure
- You can afford to pay your creditors a percentage of what you owe
