• Individuals or small businesses considering bankruptcy, but not sure if bankruptcy is the right solution.
• Individuals or small businesses that want bankruptcy relief, but don’t know if Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is better in their situation.

• Comprehensive information and approach. Many people consider bankruptcy, but don’t know if it will help in their situation. With the New Bankruptcy, people can find out if bankruptcy will discharge their debts, how much property (if any) they will lose, and which type of bankruptcy (7 or 13) will work better for them.
• What’s new? This edition covers all the important changes to bankruptcy law since the last edition, including new cases on Chapter 13 “lien strip off” and discharging student loans. It also contains updated federal and state bankruptcy exemption tables.
