Voluntary sequestration can provide a clean slate, but it's not a decision to take lightly. Let's examine both the pros and cons. Voluntary insolvency can cancel a significant portion of debt, allowing individuals to rebuild financially without ongoing pressure. All forms of voluntary insolvency become public record, meaning others—including potential employers—may access your financial history. Recovery post-voluntary insolvency takes time, and credit rebuilding typically spans five years or more. Strategic budgeting is essential. Under voluntary sequestration, you may be forced to sell real estate, although some exclusions apply with legal help and restructuring. Always consult a financial adviser or insolvency attorney before committing to voluntary insolvency to ensure it aligns with your goals.The Realities of Voluntary Insolvency
