What happens when I file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

When someone files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it will allow them to retain possession of a wide array of assets and property thanks to the Automatic Stay, including their home, motor vehicle, and more. Typically, when filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a person will first have to go through the bankruptcy means test, wherein it will be determined whether they are eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. From here, their debts will be listed and schedules will be signed. Finally, debts and liens will be filed with the bankruptcy court, initiating the bankruptcy process.
