Florida Chapter 5 Bankruptcy: Restructuring for Small Businesses

Small businesses play a critical role in the American economy. However, in the past, these businesses had limited options when they faced financial difficulties. Traditional Chapter 11 bankruptcy was often too expensive for small businesses, and state court liquidation proceedings meant the end of the business.

Fortunately, the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA) has introduced Subchapter V of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which provides a streamlined and more affordable process for small businesses to reorganize their debts and avoid liquidation. With Chapter 5 bankruptcy, small businesses now have a powerful tool to face their financial challenges head-on and emerge stronger than ever.

As a bankruptcy lawyer, Mr. Martin can expertly guide you in navigating Florida’s bankruptcy exemptions to achieve a no-asset bankruptcy filing. This means you can receive a full discharge of your unsecured debts without the need to liquidate any of your property. Don’t let debt control your life any longer.

Florida Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Reorganization and New Beginnings for Businesses

Chapter 11 bankruptcy provides a lifeline for businesses facing financial struggles. This legal process allows businesses to reorganize their debts and avoid liquidation, giving them a chance to get back on their feet. Chapter 11 is available to all types of businesses, including corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships.

Businesses typically file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy voluntarily, but creditors can also file an involuntary petition if the business is not meeting its financial obligations. The bankruptcy petition is usually filed in the state where the business has its primary place of business, but businesses also have the option to file in their home state.

The business can continue operating during bankruptcy but must seek court approval for major decisions such as selling assets or entering into new contracts. The goal of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is to develop a reorganization plan that outlines how the business will restructure its debts and continue operating successfully. Once the court approves the reorganization plan, the business can emerge from bankruptcy and start fresh.

Florida Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Debt Management and Financial Stability for Residents

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a powerful legal tool for individuals struggling with debt and needing to keep their assets. This option is particularly useful for those who do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

With Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can take control of your finances by reorganizing your debts into manageable monthly payments. This way, you can achieve financial stability in just three to five years. It’s time to take charge of your financial future and consider Chapter 13 bankruptcy as a viable option.

My family member passed away without a will. What should I do?

If your family member passes away without a will, it's crucial to act promptly. Begin by contacting an experienced probate attorney to navigate the probate process. Assets owned in the decedent's name will likely go through probate, which can be a lengthy process.
