Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The person, JH is under heavy debt as her husband died leaving behind a medical bill of $50,000. She can file for voluntary bankruptcy to get rid of her debts. Voluntary bankruptcy is a legal process by which an individual can get relief from their debts. The voluntary bankruptcy provides for liquidation and distribution wherein most or all debts are discharged. But according to the 2005 bankruptcy reform act, a person before filing a petition in bankruptcy must be counseled with an individual or a group belonging to a non-profit agency which is called credit counseling. The credit counseling is given within the 180 days period prior to filing. The person, JH must obtain a certificate proving to have received counseling from an approved nonprofit agency, before filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
