The North Carolina Homestead Exemption
Learn how much home equity you can protect using the homestead exemption in a North Carolina bankruptcy and other requirements you must meet to keep a home in bankruptcy. All bankruptcy filers can keep a house if the homestead exemption protects all home equity. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee will sell the home if the homestead exemption doesn't fully protect the home's equity. Chapter 13 filers can keep a home that isn't fully covered by the homestead exemption if they can afford to pay creditors the uncovered amount through the bankruptcy plan.

North Carolina Bankruptcy Exemptions
North Carolina bankruptcy exemptions protect property from bankruptcy creditors, including the things you’ll need to maintain a home and job. But you might not be able to keep everything you own. In Chapter 7, you only keep property covered by North Carolina bankruptcy exemptions. In Chapter 13, you keep everything you own but pay creditors for any nonexempt property. Learning about bankruptcy exemptions before filing will help you prevent unexpected property losses in a North Carolina bankruptcy.
