How Long Will a Bankruptcy Take?
Bankruptcy proceedings can vary greatly depending on what happens during the process and the person’s situation. There are a number of things that can either speed up or slow down the process. Some general things to be aware of that may affect your bankruptcy’s timeline include:
- Bankruptcies are slowed down when a trustee can’t work efficiently with a debtor
- Bankruptcies are slowed down when creditors offer too many objections
- Most Chapter 7 bankruptcies take anywhere from a few months to a year
- Most Chapter 13 bankruptcies take between 3 to 5 years to complete
This bankruptcy process can be easier to deal with and may take less time if a person has a legal advisor assist them with their bankruptcy.
