Exemptions: In general, a debtor may claim exemption of his homestead and certain personal property from attachment and execution of a judgment, or in a bankruptcy proceeding. The State of Illinois permits a judgment debtor to claim homestead exemption up to an amount of $7,500 in a farm or lot of land and buildings thereon, a condominium, or personal property, owned or rightly possessed by lease or otherwise, and occupied by him or her as a residence. If two or more individuals own property that is exempt as a homestead, the value of the exemption of each individual may not exceed his or her proportionate share of $15,000 based upon the percentage of ownership. (735 ILCS 5/12-901). Personal property which may be exempt from levy or sale upon execution, writ of attachment or any process issuing out of any court in the State of Illinois may include wearing apparel, bible, school books, and family pictures of the debtor and dependents; equity interest in any other property not to exceed $2,000 in value; interest in any one motor vehicle not to exceed $1,200 in value; equity interest in any implements, professional books, or tools of the trade not to exceed $750 in value; professionally prescribed health aids; life insurance proceeds; social security benefits; veteran’s benefits; disability, illness or unemployment benefits; and alimony, retirement plan proceeds. (735 ILCS 5/12-1001, et seq.). In any bankruptcy proceeding, a resident of the State of Illinois may be prohibited from using the federal exemptions provided in Section 522(d) of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978. (735 ILCS 5/12-1201)

Business and Corporate Law

Limited Liability Companies
Like in bankruptcy, the assignee in an assignment for the benefit of creditors assumes the general responsibilities of a trustee in bankruptcy. Further, similar to Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases for corporations, partnerships, and/or Limited Liability Companies, assignments will not discharge assigning debtors from any of their debts or liabilities unless the assets are sufficient to pay claims in full. Therefore, assignments are generally used to liquidate debtors who no longer wish to continue operations. In addition, the assignee acquires only the debtor’s title to the assigned assets. Such property may be subject to preexisting liens, claims, and encumbrances that remain valid against the assignee.

Bankruptcy
Consumers typically file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, where repayment is made to creditors, or Chapter 7 where the debts are dismissed. Each chapter of bankruptcy spells out: what bills can be eliminated, how long payments can be stretched out, and what possessions you can keep. The type depends on your circumstances and if you have assets available to repay all or part of your debts. Bankruptcy laws can be tricky and involved, so determining if, when and which type of bankruptcy you need should be made with careful thought or the input of a bankruptcy lawyer.
Foreclosure
Chapter 7 does not impose a maximum debt limit. Consequently, you can discharge any amount of debt. Further, it is a liquidation of debt; unlike a Chapter 13, you do not need to make any payment or create a payment plan. Chapter 7 bankruptcies are also shorter proceedings than Chapter 13, usually lasting no more than 6 months, as opposed to 3 to 5 years in a Chapter 13. Filing a Chapter 7 petition automatically stops most collection actions pending against the Debtor/petitioner: this includes wage garnishments, collection law suits, foreclosures, and even calls from bill collectors. A Chapter 7 discharge can eliminate all a petitioner’s debts. In order to qualify for a Chapter 7 discharge, however, the debtor will need to satisfy a means test- one of the criteria to qualify for a Chapter 7 discharge is the Debtor’s household income cannot exceed a certain sum, subject to certain exclusions. Debtors should consult with an attorney to determine whether they satisfy the means test, and whether Chapter 7 is their best choice.
