1. Objection of a New Jersey Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Discharge

This is one of a twelve blog series explaining how a chapter 7 debtor may be denied a discharge.
Under certain circumstances a debtor may be denied a discharge. The bankruptcy code states numerous reasons why a debtor may be denied a chapter 7 discharge.
A bankruptcy discharge, eliminates all types of debt that may be discharged in a bankruptcy case, such as credit card debt, medical bills, and other unsecured debt.
Any living person filing a bankruptcy case, that is entitled to a discharge, is able to obtain a discharge. However, if the entity filing the bankruptcy case is not a living individual, the entity is not entitled to a discharge.  In other words, a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership that files for chapter 7 bankruptcy protection is not entitled to a discharge. If such an entity files a bankruptcy case, the trustee will administer the case, which may include the sale of assets. After the case is fully administered, the case is closed, with no entry of a discharge order.
After completion of the case administration, there is nothing left of the entity. Even though a creditor may legally sue the entity after the completion of the case, the suit would be futile, as the entity is worthless.
