Understanding the Means Test and Exemptions
The Means Test is a court required test that a person must pass to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. One of the first things we do when clients contact us with debt concerns is determine if they qualify to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We do this through a review of the client's situation and exemptions so we can determine if a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is even an option. When we do so we address a variety of issues, including:
- Income
- Household size
- Mortgage or rent
- Value of home
- Vehicles
