Debtors are required to disclose a variety of information on their bankruptcy petitions, including:
- Personal Information: name, address, Social Security number, and employment information.
- Financial Information: income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and debts.
- Property Information: a list of all assets, including real estate, personal property, and financial accounts.
- Creditor Information: a list of all creditors, including their names, addresses, and the amount owed.
- Tax Information: the debtor’s tax returns for the past two years, along with any tax debts owed.
- Court Proceedings: any prior bankruptcy filings or lawsuits involving the debtor.
- Legal Issues: any ongoing legal matters, such as lawsuits, foreclosures, or wage garnishments.
It is important to be honest and accurate when filling out a bankruptcy petition, as any false statements can result in serious consequences, such as the dismissal of the case or criminal charges.
