Re: Do it yourself bankruptcy
These forms can be obtained from the web sites of most of the bankruptcy courts. However, before you file this action on your own, consider how you will handle your exemptions allowable under state law, how you will deal with any real property and how you plan to protect whatever assets you may have. These are all things that a professional debtor's bankruptcy attorney handles on a daily basis. That attorney can smooth out a number of the bumps which may cause you loss that is avoidable.
