Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an opportunity for a debtor to emerge out of a financial crisis relatively quickly.

The Chapter 7 bankruptcy code allows all non-exempt property of the debtor to be sold, with the proceeds going to creditors. Typically, individuals filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy have little or no assets to lose. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as bankruptcy liquidation, which means converting assets into money. Chapter 7 accounts for approximately 65 percent of all Consumer Bankruptcy filings.

Under Chapter 7 a trustee is appointed who works to collect all non-exempt property of the debtor, sell the assets, and distribute the proceeds to the appropriate creditors. Unlike other types of bankruptcy, a debtor need not pay a trustee under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
