Know the exemptions you have under NM bankruptcy law

You should know the exemptions you have available under New Mexico bankruptcy laws. Homestead, insurance and pensions are just some of the property concerns you want to investigate before you make a decision to file for bankruptcy in New Mexico.

I recommend: Personal Bankruptcy Information has a chart with all of the available exemptions in New Mexico and links to other New Mexico bankruptcy law information. The Bankruptcy Site has a page that covers the available exemptions in New Mexico.

Understand the process of bankruptcy in New Mexico

Filing for bankruptcy has changed drastically with the passage of the 2005 bankruptcy laws. You may not be eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you have a valuable asset you want to keep that isn't covered under the exemptions, Chapter 13 may be a better option for you anyway.
