What Happens to My Retirement Accounts?

One of the main concerns that older individuals have when faced with bankruptcy is what will happen to my retirement accounts if I become bankrupt? We are pleased to tell you that your retirement accounts are protected in the event that you file for bankruptcy.

My Income Is Too High for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

To qualify for bankruptcy, you need to have a low enough disposable monthly income. In some cases, individuals might have difficulty qualifying for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which may be more advantageous because it offers a chance to wipe away debt. It is important to understand that money that is put into your retirement count is not considered when determining eligibility for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In addition, putting more money in your retirement account is beneficial because it allows for a more secure future.

The means test is generally used to determine if an individual qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, it is important to note that in some cases you do not have to qualify. In some cases you may make a very high salary and may still qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. To learn more about how this is possible, you need to speak with one of our experienced attorneys.

Testimonials

I couldn't have prayed for a better law firm than Sulaiman Law Group. I found your team to be congenial, professional and consistently available throughout the process. I only wish I had found you sooner. I will highly recommend your firm to any and everyone!

Wow. An honest, ethical attorney who actually cares about people. I know, how can that be. Well, you need to talk to Ahmad Sulaiman to find out.

He has literally saved my life; and, that is not a metaphor. His office has fought for me where few firms in the country could have had any success; and, I am able to look forward with some hope.

You can be certain that, if you are not an attorney, whatever you THINK you know about the law, you are probably GUARANTEED to be completely wrong in your assessment. Consult with an attorney who actually cares, tempered with being brilliant.

I could not be in better hands; and, words do not describe how differently my life would have been had I not met Ahmad Sulaiman. It was literally an answer to a prayer. By Glen S

Ahmad is a real gem in the legal profession. I strongly recommend him.

Mr. Mohammed Badwan is an excellent, sincere and knowledgeable attorney. He is always on top of negotiations with creditors and gets back to you promptly to give you any updates.. He makes you feel very comfortable and stays with you as a good legal advisor through the entire process.

As a healthcare professional and business owner myself, I am very sensitive to the minute details with the quality of overall service- work ethics, professionalism and the team effort put in to achieve client's goals and satisfaction. I will give this group an A+ and wish them success and bright future. Keep up the good work....
