Bankruptcy of a natural person refers to a set of legal procedures that come into effect when an individual declares their inability to meet financial obligations towards creditors.
The objective of bankruptcy for a natural person is to liquidate the debtor's entire asset pool, distribute the procured funds (inclusive of their monthly income) to creditors, establish conditions for the restoration of solvency, and offer a fresh start.
Conditions for initiating bankruptcy for a natural person:
- Bankruptcy proceedings can only be initiated for individuals in a state of insolvency, whose financial obligations exceed 25 times the minimum monthly wage approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania (9500 Euros) and whose debt repayment term has already expired.
