Wisconsin Bankruptcy Laws

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as “liquidation” bankruptcy because the Chapter 7 process sometimes involves a liquidation sale.

In non-legal terms, this means that a bankruptcy trustee may sell some of a debtor’s property and use the money raised to pay creditors.

But don’t panic—most Chapter 7 bankruptcy filers can keep their property. Also, a good deal of your property is likely protected as “exemptions” under state bankruptcy law and is therefore not allowed to be sold by the trustee.

Wisconsin Bankruptcy Exemptions

Check out some of the following Wisconsin bankruptcy exemptions:

Homestead: Up to $40,000 worth of a home.

Wages: 75 percent of your income.

Vehicle: One motor vehicle worth up to $1,200, plus any unused amount of the personal property exemption.
