Key Steps to Prepare for Filing Bankruptcy

If you’re considering filing for bankruptcy, there are a few important steps to take before the filing. First, compile a list of creditors you owe money to, as not all will appear on your credit report, especially medical bills. Second, gather your most recent federal tax returns for the past one or two years and collect proof of income, such as paycheck stubs. These documents will help your attorney prepare your case and ensure the bankruptcy process moves forward smoothly. Proper preparation is key to a successful filing.
