The example of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition which I previously posted has been updated as of April 2010 and can be found below. This filled out example has replaced the sample chapter 7 bankruptcy petition I lecture from at my self-help desk at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Woodland Hills.
In this difficult 2010 calendar year, I continue to note that having an exemplar of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition remains an invaluable resource in assisting debtors through their Chapter 7 bankruptcy. As I have cautioned previously, this form should absolutely NOT be copied verbatim, but if used properly, I think you will find this example of a chapter 7 bankruptcy petition very instructive on many accounts.
Of course, qualified representation by a bankruptcy attorney is ideal. Every debtor is different and specific legal advise based on a complete understanding of an individual will tend to assure the best result in discharging your debts through the bankruptcy process.
On the other hand, equal access to the law is an important principle too and it is one that I take very seriously. Combined with the work I do at the self-help desk, I hope this helps in its small way as well.
