So how long does the bankruptcy automatic stay last? Generally, the automatic stay will remain in effect until:

  • the bankruptcy case is complete and you receive a discharge;
  • the bankruptcy judge lifts the automatic stay at the request of a creditor and upon a hearing before the bankruptcy court; or
  • the protected property is no longer part of the bankruptcy estate.
