Bankruptcy Questionnaire for Married Individuals

This form is to be used by married debtors even if only one is filing. If you are single click here.

It will take 30-60 minutes to provide all the information required by the court. Most of the information you will already know. COMPLETE ONLY THE PARTS THAT APPLY TO YOU. However, you will need to have creditor information (names, addresses, etc.) at hand to complete this form. Please review my privacy policy if you have any concerns about what we will do with this information.

You must disclose all information. If I, as your attorney, find out that you did not disclose all information or that you provided false information, I have an ethical obligation to require you to provide the correct information to the court.

WARNING - THE FBI INVESTIGATES BANKRUPTCY CRIMES

Federal law provides severe criminal penalties for bankruptcy crimes, which include bribery, concealment of assets, false statement, fake claims, filing under a false name and perjury. Title 18, United States Code, Sec. 152, et.seq. provides penalties of up to 5 years imprisonment or a fine of not more than $250,000, or both.

VALUATION OF ASSETS - The court wants to know the "value" of your assets. For bankruptcy purposes, "value" is what you would pay for the item in its present condition. For example, for furniture, you have used furniture. If you were buying used furniture at a second hand store, what would pay for it in the same condition as yours is? For vehicles, what would you pay for your used vehicle in the condition that it sits, right now, in your driveway (dirty, dented, in need of mechanical repair, etc.)? For vehicles, I usually take retail and subtract at least $1000 for reconditioning. Then, if the vehicle needs body work or paint or repair, I subtract the cost of that to come up with the "value."

Testimonial

I owed more than $80,000 in taxes and was on the verge of having the IRS close down my business. Mr. Smith, at Oregon Fresh Start, was able to create a repayment plan for me through the bankruptcy court that is giving me the chance to repay my taxes and keep my business open.– Lee T, Portland area
