In Massachusetts, you may elect to use either the Massachusetts exemptions or the Federal exemptions. An exemption is equity in property that you can keep even though you file bankruptcy. Please call or e-mail Attorney Ellis if you have detailed questions regarding the nature and dollar amount of exemptions available to you. Under many circumstances, when you file bankruptcy, you may file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to avoid liens, attachments and executions filed against your home. Attorney Ellis will draft and file the appropriate motion for you as part of the services that he renders to you when you file a bankruptcy.
