ROLE OF AN ATTORNEY IN BANKRUPTCY
Suppose a person is in tremendous debt, struggling every day how to get out of it. He or she tried for every available alternative but failed to reach to any positive outcome. The only option left is filing for bankruptcy to get rid of excessive financial burden. But can it be possible to file for bankruptcy without taking any advice from any professional person dealing with it. Absolutely not. If a good bankruptcy attorney is hired then 50% of the battle is won. A person should not hide any detail from an attorney. Even if there is information which can go against the person who filed bankruptcy then also it is good for that person to discuss about it. As per new bankruptcy law a person must go for credit counseling program before 6 months from the date of filing bankruptcy. All the papers relating to the credit counseling program must be handed over to the attorney as a proof. The concerned person must give the details regarding the debt accounts, documents regarding income and expenditure and other
necessary information . On the basis of that the attorney will decide the chapter a person should file for.
After carefully examining the produced documents the attorney will advice the person to file for Chapter 7 if the income source of that person is depleted. He will also judge the person through Means test. The gross income and the net income of that person for the last six months will be calculated and will be evaluated with the average income of a family having related stricture in the same city or town. If it is less then the attorney will advice you to file for Chapter 7 and will talk to the trustee accordingly.
If the median income is high then the attorney will advice the person to for Chapter 13. He will prepare a repayment plan and will try to get it accepted by the court after talking to the creditors.
Bankruptcy attorneys can advice the person regarding the loopholes in it and thus help an individual to avoid traps.
