THE PAPERWORK IS WHERE MOST CHAPTER 7 CASES GO WRONG
A Chapter 7 petition runs to dozens of pages of schedules, statements, and disclosures. An asset valued too high invites a trustee's attention.

ANSWERS TO YOUR BANKRUPTCY CONCERNS
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common Chapter 7 bankruptcy questions, including eligibility, the filing process, debt discharge, and what to expect.
Who qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Georgia?
Households earning below the Georgia median for their size qualify automatically. Above that line, a second calculation subtracts allowed expenses to find disposable income. Many people who assume they earn too much still pass once deductions are applied.
What is the Chapter 7 means test?
It is a two-part formula. The first part compares your average income over the 6 months before filing to the state median. The second deducts living expenses, secured payments, and taxes to see what remains for creditors each month.
Will I lose my house if I file Chapter 7?
Not if your equity fits inside the homestead exemption, which rose to $50,000 for a single filer on July 1, 2026. John E. Pytte P.C. runs that calculation for every Savannah, GA homeowner before a petition is drafted.
Can I keep my car in Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Usually yes. If the loan is current and your equity sits under the $5,000 vehicle exemption, the car stays. Keeping a financed vehicle generally means continuing payments, and sometimes signing a reaffirmation agreement before the case closes.
What property is exempt in a Georgia Chapter 7 case?
Georgia opted out of the federal list, so state law governs. Home equity, $5,000 in a vehicle, $5,000 in household goods with a per-item cap, $1,500 in work tools, and a $1,200 wildcard that grows with unused homestead.
What is a reaffirmation agreement?
A reaffirmation agreement revives a debt the discharge would otherwise erase, usually for a car you want to keep. The upside is retained property. The downside is renewed personal liability if payments later stop. The court reviews each one.
Can a Chapter 7 case be converted to Chapter 13?
Yes, and it happens when nonexempt equity turns up or income rises mid-case. Conversion preserves the original filing date and the automatic stay. John E. Pytte P.C. handles conversions for clients across Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA.
Months From Now, This Chapter Can Simply Be Over
There is a specific date, usually somewhere between 4 and 6 months from the day a petition is filed, when the credit card balances, the medical bills, and the old personal loans stop being yours. Not reduced. Not negotiated. Gone, by federal court order. Reaching that date cleanly depends on work done before filing: honest valuations, exemptions matched to your property, and a means test that holds. John E. Pytte P.C. has handled Chapter 7 filings for Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA households for 30 years.
