Under chapter 7 you can expect all of your property to be liquidated except for some items which may fall into the “exempt” category including tools of one’s trade, a minimal amount of “personal effects”, and sometimes a small amount of home or car equity. Depending on which state you live in filing chapter 7 bankruptcy can often mean losing your home.
