🔹 Are you in Kansas and considering filing for bankruptcy? It's crucial to understand the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

🔹 In Chapter 7, you surrender all nonexempt assets to a trustee who liquidates them to repay creditors. In contrast, Chapter 13 allows you to keep your property but requires you to adhere to a court-approved plan to repay creditors from your future income.

🔹 Another key distinction is your ability to modify debt obligations. Under Chapter 13, you can alter the rights of secured and unsecured creditors and cure any default within a reasonable time. This flexibility is not available under Chapter 7.

🔹 The dischargeability of certain types of debt can also differ. For instance, student loan debt is generally not dischargeable in Chapter 7 unless you can demonstrate "undue hardship". However, under Chapter 13, you may be able to repay a portion of the student loan debt through the repayment plan, and then receive a discharge of the remaining debt at the end of the plan period.

What is a Will?

Most people have a general understanding of what a will is, but unfortunately, estate planning is something people often are not comfortable discussing. Having at least a basic will spares a person's surviving loved ones from the unnecessary heartache, burden, and expense that come with a person dying intestate. Especially for individuals with children, a house, or pets, wills and trusts are very important. Learn more https://www.kansasjustice.com/estate-planning/blog/will

Can Co-Parents Move?

People move; it is a fact of modern life. Sometimes it is due to school or work needs, sometimes to care for ailing family members, and sometimes it is just for a change of pace. But when a child of divorced or never-married parents is involved, custody often becomes the ultimate factor in determining whether the move the parents are planning actually takes place.

What Does “Intestate” Mean?

The more formal description of a will is a "last will and testament." So what happens when someone dies without a valid will? That condition is called "intestate". Without a valid will, the probate court won't know what a deceased person truly wanted regarding property they left behind, and so it has to try its best to assign guardians for minor children and dispose of property based on applicable law and the judge's own best judgment.
