About Eastvale

Eastvale is a city located in northwestern Riverside County, California, the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The area transitioned from a dairy farm enclave to a developed community starting in the 1990s and was formally incorporated on October 1, 2010. The city’s name is derived from “East Vale” as a listed school district in 1893 by the Riverside County Board of Commissioners.

The city is served by the highly accredited public school system – the Corona Norco Unified School District. According to the 2010 United States Census, Eastvale has a median household income at one of the top-earning percentiles in the country at $105,894.

Business Bankruptcy

Businesses can file bankruptcy in order to cease operations and liquidate or restructure their debts to continue operating. Business owners can also file bankruptcy when their liability on debts is holding the business back.

Federal Law in Eastvale

Why it matters where you live...

The Bankruptcy Code is federal law which is applied uniformly throughout the United States. So why would it be different for someone who lives in Eastvale?

The Bankruptcy Code can be thought of as a sponge that soaks up other laws to fill in the holes. For instance, the Bankruptcy Code states that all property that a person owns can become property of the bankruptcy estate. However, “property” and “ownership” are not defined in the Bankruptcy Code, so state law is used to determine these property rights. Another very important aspect of where the Bankruptcy Code can be different depending on where you live or have lived is exemptions.

A person filing in California will either use California’s own exemptions, the state exemptions of where they previously lived, or the federal exemptions provided in the Bankruptcy Code. The effect of this can be major – For example, the California homestead exemption is $300,000 to $600,000, whereas the homestead exemption in other states is as little as $0. The homestead exemption for Eastvale residents is currently at approximately $440,000.

Not only is California law applicable, but also city-level local policy, regulations, and property values play an important role in your bankruptcy case. For example, if the home values in Eastvale are increasing or decreasing, this would play a major factor in whether the trustee would seek to liquidate the property.
