What will happen when I file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation bankruptcy because filers sell off a portion of their assets to earn the money necessary to pay off their debts. After filing, you will be assigned a trustee who will divide your estate into non-exempt and exempt items. Exempt items typically include your primary residence and vehicle. All non-exempt property will be taken away and sold. In addition to the liquidation process, some of your debts will be discharged.
