Filing Bankruptcy in South Dakota
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as “liquidation” because a bankruptcy trustee may liquidate (sell) any of a debtor’s personal property that’s not exempt from liquidation. Once property is liquidated, the money is applied to any unsecured debts.
In most Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, the person filing bankruptcy doesn’t own any non-exempt assets so there’s usually nothing to liquidate and the debtor usually keeps all or most of his or her property.
