Filing for bankruptcy can be difficult and complicated.
We've put together a quick overview to help you when filing for bankruptcy in Georgia. Our list is a great overview, but reviewing with a qualified attorney
is the best way to get answers to your questions.
Bankruptcy Do's:
Do be honest with your attorney — King and King
handles all your personal information with confidentiality and privacy. Be sure
to tell us everything so we can file your bankruptcy petition accurately.
Do continue making mortgage payments — If you get
behind after filing bankruptcy, your creditor can begin foreclosure on your home.
The good news is we can help even up to the last moment, and may be able to
resolve the situation if you fall behind while in an active bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Don'ts:
Don't hide your property —Transferring your
property to another person may be seen as fraudulent. Let us help you keep it.
Don't pay off personal loans — If you owe money
to family members, now is not the time to repay them. Let the bankruptcy court
determine the priority of your creditors and handle it through the proper
channels.
Don't spend your retirement money — More good
news, most retirement accounts are exempt in bankruptcy. Speak with your attorney for more details.
