What Can I Protect?

Take Action to Protect Your Home and Property

We get questions about what can be protected in bankruptcy from almost every potential client, and the answer almost always depends on the situation. When you sit down with us to have the discussion about what property you can protect, we work with you to protect the things that are most important.

At the Law Offices of Farnsworth Mortensen, PLLC, of Tucson and Mesa, our team of experienced attorneys, paralegals and support staff understands that what works best for one family is not necessarily what will work for the next. Each bankruptcy is as different as the people involved, and it is important you work with lawyers who understand that.

Helping Arizona Families Fight Foreclosure and Car Repossession

Bankruptcy is a tool to be used by people facing financial crisis so they can get back on track. If bankruptcy left you on the street with nothing left to your name at the end, then it wouldn't be a very good tool. Whether you are best suited for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, at the end of the process, you will still be left with key property and resources to move forward.

While every situation is different, there are a number of things that we may be able to help you protect, such as:

  • Your home
  • Your car
  • Your home's equity
  • Work related items
  • Household goods
  • Clothes
  • Money to pay for child and spousal support
  • Certain benefits such as workers' compensation or unemployment

The most important thing you can protect through bankruptcy is your finances and the financial future of your family. This is not a decision to be made lightly, of course, but when you have reached a situation where you could lose your car, your home or your retirement, the longer you wait to take action, the deeper the hole you may find yourself in.
