Saving Your House and Car

One of the most common misconceptions about bankruptcy
is that you will have to give up everything that you own when
you file bankruptcy. On the contrary, many of our clients are
able to save their home, car, retirement plan, personal
property, such as furniture and household items up to certain
limits. Under Florida's exemption laws, you may be able to keep many of your possessions. We help individuals and families sort through their property and advise them what is considered exempt and non-exempt.

Is imperative that you keep making the payments on your mortgage and auto loan in order to keep your house and car. At Carrillo and Carrillo, P.A., in Miami, Florida, we have extensive experience handling legal matters. We have helped individuals and families sort through their property and advise them what is considered exempt and non-exempt.

Florida has very liberal property exemptions that are applicable in bankruptcy. The homestead exemption allows a debtor an unlimited homestead exemption. The exemption is limited to $125,000 only if the property was acquired within the previous 1215 day (3 years, 4 months).

Bankruptcy was designed to provide you with a fresh financial start not to take your possessions.

At Carrillo and Carrillo, P.A., we provide the highest level of personal service and attention to detail, empowering you with all the resources required to make the difficult decisions for you and your family.
