No-Asset Bankruptcy Minneapolis
In an age where prices for homes, cars and just about anything else are rising rapidly, more and more people come to us and say they own “absolutely everything”. This is usually not the case. Most of us have clothes, a pot, pan, and a few pieces jewelry. When we think about assets, people tend to think of cars and homes. Let’s discuss the “good” of having “absolutely nothing.”
A bankruptcy with no assets.
A bankruptcy with no assets is when an individual files bankruptcy, but has no significant assets that could be liquidated to repay creditors. In this situation, the bankruptcy procedure is usually simpler, since there are no assets that need to be evaluated or distributed. What assets a person does have, such as clothing, household items, etc. Exemptions can protect assets. [I recommend reading one of our many blogs on exemptions for an in-depth explanation.]
This is often the case for individuals in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, where most unsecured debts are discharged, including credit card debts and medical bills. The process is streamlined and debtors are able to obtain a discharge quickly. The lack of assets generally means less paperwork, quicker hearings with less questions, and less back and forth with the trustees.
