Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Utah
Not sure how to ask this...
Several years ago I had a Chp 7 Bk discharge. When I first filed I didn't have to have a co-signer on the papers.
Recently my sister-in-law decided she needed to file for Bk protection. The legal council she spoke with said that she needed a co-signer from work; someone she has worked with for over a year. Is this true? I find this highly suspicious, and haven't heard any changes in the Bk code that mentions this type of thing.
Does my sister in law need a co-signer on a Bk filing? I told her that I did not believe so, but that I would look into it. I searched the database and other questions, but nothing came up regarding this type of issue.
Thank you.

One does not need a co signer to file bankruptcy. The attorney probably wanted a co signer for his fee, since she was filing and could effectively bankrupt out of the attorney's fee.
