The evidentiary requirements in bankruptcy are localized. They vary between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, vary by case and are subject to change.  Your bankruptcy attorney will instruct you in advance on exactly what’s needed and what’s not. The documents help us prepare your bankruptcy for filing, and some of them must be submitted to the trustee for review after filing.
We typically order a credit report in order to obtain a listing of debts to import to your bankruptcy petition. You'll need to provide statements for any debts that are omitted from the credit report. Most of the other documents we need should already be readily available in electronic format (including pay stubs, bank statements and tax returns). Basic valuations for vehicles can be obtained online at Kbb.com and zillow.com is a starting point for home valuation. If we need a broker's opinion on your real property or a tax account transcript, we'll direct you when and where to obtain the additional documents.
