Right of Redemption

During your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case, you will be asked about whether you wish to retain certain types of secured property. Items which are financed, like automobiles, motorcycle and even your home, are security for the loan or mortgage. The loans are part of the debt included in the Bankruptcy. You can execute a reaffirmation agreement and continue to make payments. There are other choices which may be available.

Redemption for Value

You may be able to Redeem and retain certain personal property for its current liquidation value and making a significantly reduced, single payment to retain these items of personal property. Your lawyer can explain how the Redemption process works and how value may be established.

Statutory Right of Redemption

Both Ohio and Kentucky have statutory rights of redemption. Ohio's is found in Ohio Revised Code § 5721.38. Kentucky's is found in Kentucky Revised Statutes § 426.530.

A statutory right of redemption allows the debtor to buy back a house from foreclosure over a period of time by paying back the principal and interest. Exercising a right of redemption can prevent a person's home from being liquidated in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
