Bankruptcy and Exempt Property



When you're addressing   bankruptcy, it can appear like everything is becoming   insecure for you. Most ways that you'll be filing bankruptcy include the fact that   you have a business or you’re a person, you're going to have to accept your property being taken from you so that you are able to pay back your creditors. It could feel like you're losing everything, because everything is being removed. However, you ought to know that there are particular things that are exempt from being taking in order to pay off your creditors. The reason that there's exempt property stems from the actually point behind bankruptcy

Filing for bankruptcy serves two independent purposes. It allows the creditors to get the money that they require, and it is also a way for the person who is filing bankruptcy to get on with their lives and to get a new start. Because of the fact that bankruptcy is meant to have a new start, it means that there is going to be certain exempt property, which are the things that you need to actually have this new start. Because you're supposed to be starting again, there are certain things that will be exempt from bankruptcy

If you own a house, but there's no value in the house for the creditors, it will be exempt property. The same with the car that you need to drive to work so that you can make a new start. It will also be exempt, unless there's great value in it for the creditors. Also, any retirement funds or other funds that you've acquired are not going to be able to be taken by the creditors because they're exempt property. Your home goods are not usually found to have been of any resale value, so these are exempt also. The bank cannot take your wedding bands either.

There are several ways to decide what is going to be exempt and what isn't. Basically you have to consider the resale value of whatever it is that is in question to see whether or not you think it is going to be able to be resold for a higher value than you owe. If not, then that property will be exempt and you'll be able to make a fresh beginning with it. If you have any questions, talk to a lawyer about what is and what is not exempt property.

Have You Ever Encountered Yourself?

Actor James Baldwin once said, “I have encountered a lot of people in Europe, I have even encountered myself” It begs the question, have you encountered yourself? To encounter means to meet by surprise or unexpectedly, amongst other meanings. When was the last time you experienced that type of surprise meeting with yourself?  Have you been in a situation where you found out you liked something you didn’t think you would enjoy?  Maybe tried a new food, or a new sport. Maybe started a new hobby?  When this happens without you orchestrating the situation you are encountering yourself. Many people stay in their comfort zones, and rarely find themselves in a situation where they are challenged by encountering themselves in an unexpected or surprising ways.  As a personal challenge take time to do something different today.

How to Be a Friend to Your Friends

  What does being a friend mean to you? Does it just mean having some company for your nights out and for those movies and a few pairs of ears to listen to when you want to talk something? Or does it just mean having someone to help you when you need some money or some other kind of favor?   Most times, people say that they don’t have friends that they count on. If you think so as well, maybe you need to look within yourself first.   Friendship is highly relative. You have to be a good friend to people first. It is only then that you get genuine friends who can stick with you through thick and thin. You cannot be a selfish slob and expect everyone around you to give you the shirt off their back when you need it.   Though we live in times that are characterized by great strides in scientific and technological progress—in times that are called as the ‘scientific age’ or the ‘computer age’—the basic human qualities such as friendship remain the same. The s...
