If I file bankruptcy, can my business equipment be taken away?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The property you are allowed to protect from a creditor with a court judgment is called exemptions, and exemptions vary widely between the states. In Nevada, a creditor can garnish up to 25% of someone's wages. If your husband's self employment produces wages, then the law will limit the amount that can be garnished to 25%. If however, hubby is a sole proprietor, there will be no limit to the money the judgment creditor can take to satisfy the judgment from his checking account or cash register. Business equipment and tools of the trade are protected under Nevada law up to $10K.

If I apply for bankruptcy, will it affect my Social Security Income and will it eliminate all my unsecured debts?

David J Hutchinson
Answered by attorney David J Hutchinson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at David J. Hutchinson
It probably will not affect your Social Security payments and should eliminate most, if not all, of your unsecured debts, but you should talk to a good bankruptcy lawyer about your specific facts to be sure.
