Chapter 12 bankruptcy in Georgia.
Chapter 12 cases, also referred to as "farm reorganization" or "family farmer bankruptcy, " is a process that allows farms to restructure their assets and debts through a plan of reorganization.
Qualifying for Chapter 12 varies depending how whether the farmer is an individual or a corporation.
Generally speaking, if your assets and debts are primarily related to farming activity, then you probably qualify to file a Chapter 12.
