How to File Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

In filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the
“where” aspect of the petition is definitely not to be overlooked.
Applicant parties must submit formal requests to the bankruptcy court with jurisdiction
. However, before even concerning oneself with how to file
for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a person contemplating such measures should see that
they qualify.

 

The means test may be a critical determinant
to see if individual debtors and insolvent corporations may legally petition

for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
. Especially with regard

means a light matter
. Therefore, prior to filing for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, prospective petitioners are advised to consult with a
credit counselor as well as a bankruptcy attorney.

         

Another logistical point of concern
with how to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is how to prepare for the
inevitable creditors’ meeting mediated by the trustee
