Filing bankruptcy can effectively stop foreclosure in Maryland, as well as halt wage garnishments and levies.
In fact, effective Maryland has recently enacted a new homestead exemption law, which enables you to retain more equity in your home when filing bankruptcy. With increasing home values, you may have significant equity to protect, providing you with more leverage in negotiations. Starting June 1, 2026, you will be able to exempt up to $125,000 under the homestead exemption, making filing bankruptcy a more effective foreclosure defense for homeowners with substantial equity.
Bankruptcy allows you to make a fresh start, ceases creditor harassment, and enables you to protect and retain many of your assets. We offer same-day consultations for emergencies. Call the Law Offices of Diana L. Klein to find out how bankruptcy can assist you in stopping sleepless nights and alleviating the stress of feeling overwhelmed in crisis mode. Call 443-569-4574.
