  • Non-judgmental.

    You were very open and answered all of my questions. You never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I was comfortable with your knowledge of the law. It was hard for me to make this decision to move forward in my life. Everyone was friendly to me and respectful. Non-judgmental. Every question I asked was answered promptly and appropriately. I would recommend you.

  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

What Do I Need To Gather To File For Bankruptcy?

When filing for bankruptcy, you are expected to disclose any income, assets, debts and other financial activity during the period leading up to your case’s filing. In order to file, the first step is to gather the necessary paperwork and evidentiary material so that you may provide what the bankruptcy court will need to see in order to evaluate your case and approve the discharge of your debts.

Below is a basic list of the items needed in any potential case:
• Last 6 months of your paystubs or other documents showing income.
• Last 3 months of your bank statements for each account with your name on it.
• 2019 & 2020 State & Federal tax returns.
• Recent retirement account statement(s).
• Recent mortgage statement(s).
• Recent car loan statement(s).
• Statements or bills for all creditors.
• Any lawsuit paperwork.
• Recent whole life insurance statement for any policies in your name.
• Documents related to any business:
o Profit & Loss statements
o List of inventory/assets and account receivables
• Credit Counseling Certificate (This certificate can be earned online at
debtorcc.org) Cost – $19.95
• Copy or Photograph of ID and Social Security Card

Bear in mind, these documents are only necessary if they pertain to your situation. A retired single person will have to provide a lot less in paperwork to support the contents of their case filing as opposed to a married person who owns a business and an interest in real property. Married couples, even in cases where only one member of the household is filing, will usually have to provide this paperwork for any non-filing spouse as well.
