What happens to my assets during a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

In South Carolina, filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection means that your assets are placed into what is called a “bankruptcy estate.” This estate, which is overseen by the court-appointed trustee, is composed of all of your assets. The trustee is responsible for gathering up all of the assets of the estate and assessing their value. This may include assets, such as cash, stocks and bonds, cars, property, and any other property of value. Once the court has approved the bankruptcy filing, the trustee will distribute the estate’s assets to your creditors. Generally, if there’s enough money to pay all of your creditors, then they will be completely paid off. However, if there’s not enough money to cover all of your debts, then your creditors will have to accept a percentage of what’s owed to them. In addition, any assets that are deemed to be unnecessary for the successful completion of the bankruptcy will be sold off or liquidated to pay off your creditors. This includes assets like a vacation home, luxury cars, and other items of value that the court deems unnecessary. Finally, you may be able to keep some of your assets by filing for a Reorganization Plan. This plan is designed to help you keep some of your assets, such as your home or car, while still paying off your creditors. It’s important to note that, depending on your financial situation, the court may reject your plan. Ultimately, the amount of assets that you’ll be able to keep during a Chapter 11 bankruptcy depends on your financial situation and the amount of money available to pay your creditors. The trustee and the court will ultimately decide how your assets are to be used and distributed.
