How do I know if I qualify for Chapter 11 in New York State?
The first thing our firm will have to determine is whether you qualify for Chapter 11 bankruptcy before filing. In many cases, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the ideal type of bankruptcy for individuals, however, if you owe more than the debt limits afforded by Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may qualify for Chapter 11.
What does the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process look like in New York State?
In Chapter 11, those filing will have to create what is known as a reorganization plan within four months (in certain cases, this timeframe may be extended). The goal of this plan is to come up with a practical strategy for you to pay off your debt. Keep in mind that in Chapter 11, the best interest of the creditors takes precedence over the best interest of the individual. When you file for Chapter 11, you will have to first place each creditor into its own class (priority, unsecured, and secured). From here, each creditor will have the right to vote on whether they choose to accept your reorganization plan. As long as all creditors accept your plan, your bankruptcy case should be approved.
