What all do I need to file for bankruptcy?

Lorena Lee Saedi
Answered by attorney Lorena Lee Saedi (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Saedi Law Group, LLC
Most bankruptcy attorneys will have you complete an intake form of your debts and assets. You should have the last ninety days of pay stubs and the last tax return filed. You should check with your local Better Business Bureau and Bar Association when selecting an attorney to ensure that you find the best firm that fits your needs. You should always meet with at least 2 firms and never feel pressured to file a case before having time to review your options.

How do you protect your personal assets in a bankruptcy?

Robert Louis Peters
Answered by attorney Robert Louis Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Robert L. Peters, Attorney
That is a very difficult and complex question. The simple answer is that you dont protect your assets. Selling, hiding or giving away assets in contemplation of bankruptcy is a crime. Bankruptcy sometimes means you give up assets in order to discharge more in liabilities. This one really reacquires a meeting with an attorney and a thorough explanation of the purpose and procedure in bankruptcy.
