For many, thinking about the future means planning a career, perhaps starting a family and enjoying life while not taking the time to consider what will happen if you become ill or disabled, or if you were to suddenly pass away.

Wills

Bankruptcy
The unfortunate truth is that many individuals and businesses face tough financial circumstances that leave them unable to manage their debts. At O’Connell and Aronowitz, we help our clients in Albany, NY eliminate these burdens, obtain a fresh start and build a more secure financial future. Our firm handles all aspects of bankruptcy law, including debtor filings under Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. Learn more about O’Connell and Aronowitz bankruptcy practice and offerings here.
Foreclosure
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate most individual or business unsecured debt. Often referred to as a “liquidation bankruptcy,” this process involves selling the property and assets of a debtor and then paying off as much debt as possible. The remaining debt is then eliminated or discharged. Certain property, however, such as residential real estate, automobiles and personal property like furniture and clothing is protected, or exempt, from being sold. To qualify for this form of bankruptcy protection, your income must be lower than the median income in New York. Those who earn more than this amount must pass what is known as a “means test” to show that there is not enough disposable income to pay the debts. In addition, prior to filing, it is necessary to attend credit counseling with an agency that is approved by the trustee. Once the petition is filed, the court issues an automatic stay that immediately stops collection activities by creditors. This order also prohibits creditors from proceeding with repossessions, foreclosures, garnishments and lawsuits without the permission of the bankruptcy court. The stay is effective until the bankruptcy is discharged.
