How Does Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Utah Work?

Utah Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation bankruptcy for individuals and businesses. Under Chapter 7 in Utah Bankruptcy Code, a trustee is appointed to examine and direct the financial affairs of the debtor. All non-exempt property is sold and the proceeds are distributed to creditors. Exempt assets are retained by the debtor. Any remaining debt is “discharged”, or forgiven, giving the debtor an opportunity for a fresh start.
