California Bankruptcy Lawyers

Even though bankruptcy is controlled by federal law, state law gives some twists to bankruptcy issues for those in California. For one, those who declare bankruptcy are given a choice between the state law exemptions found in Code of Civil Procedure §704 and a set of bankruptcy-only exemptions in CCP §703.140. Secondly, homeowners often receive generous homestead exemptions for equity in a primary residence. Also, the after- acquired community property is not liable for the debt of the non filing spouse that existed when the bankruptcy was filed.
