Sequestration
Sequestration is a form of insolvency and may be suitable if you can’t pay back your debts in a reasonable time. Assets you own, such as your house or car, could be sold to pay off your debts.
If your assets are worth more than your debts, or if all of your regular payments are up to date and you can afford to keep paying them, sequestration may not be the right solution for you.
