What are bankruptcy schedules and the statement of financial affairs?
These documents provide information about the debtor’s assets and liabilities. In these documents, the debtor describes the nature and value of his or her property and lists the nature and amount of debts, the names and addresses of creditors, and the debtor’s current income and expenditures. The statement of financial affairs also requires the debtor to disclose certain historic information about the debtor’s financial affairs. These documents must be fully completed and are signed by the debtor under penalty of perjury.
