Will a person lose any property if he or she files under chapter 13?
March 28, 2008
Usually not under chapter 13. Creditors are usually paid out of the debtor’s income and not from the debtor’s property. However, if a debtor has valuable nonexempt property and has insufficient income to pay enough to creditors to satisfy the court, some of the debtor’s property may have to be used to pay creditors.
