Official Form 101

Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy /

The bankruptcy forms use you and Debtor 1 to refer to a debtor filing alone. A married couple may file a bankruptcy case together—called a
joint case—and in joint cases, these forms use you to ask for information from both debtors. For example, if a form asks, “Do you own a car,”
the answer would be yes if either debtor owns a car. When information is needed about the spouses separately, the form uses Debtor 1 and
Debtor 2 to distinguish between them. In joint cases, one of the spouses must report information as Debtor 1 and the other as Debtor 2. The
same person must be Debtor 1 in all of the forms.
Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct
information. If more space is needed, attach a separate sheet to this form. On the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number
(if known). Answer every question.

For you if you are filing this The law allows you, as an individual, to represent yourself in bankruptcy court, but you

attorney themselves successfully. Because bankruptcy has long-term financial and legal
consequences, you are strongly urged to hire a qualified attorney.
If you are represented by
an attorney, you do not To be successful, you must correctly file and handle your bankruptcy case. The rules are very
need to file this page. technical, and a mistake or inaction may affect your rights. For example, your case may be
dismissed because you did not file a required document, pay a fee on time, attend a meeting or
hearing, or cooperate with the court, case trustee, U.S. trustee, bankruptcy administrator, or audit
firm if your case is selected for audit. If that happens, you could lose your right to file another
case, or you may lose protections, including the benefit of the automatic stay.
You must list all your property and debts in the schedules that you are required to file with the
court. Even if you plan to pay a particular debt outside of your bankruptcy, you must list that debt
in your schedules. If you do not list a debt, the debt may not be discharged. If you do not list
property or properly claim it as exempt, you may not be able to keep the property. The judge can
also deny you a discharge of all your debts if you do something dishonest in your bankruptcy
case, such as destroying or hiding property, falsifying records, or lying. Individual bankruptcy
cases are randomly audited to determine if debtors have been accurate, truthful, and complete.
Bankruptcy fraud is a serious crime; you could be fined and imprisoned.

If you decide to file without an attorney, the court expects you to follow the rules as if you had
hired an attorney. The court will not treat you differently because you are filing for yourself. To be
successful, you must be familiar with the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure, and the local rules of the court in which your case is filed. You must also
be familiar with any state exemption laws that apply.

Are you aware that filing for bankruptcy is a serious action with long-term financial and legal
consequences?
‰ No
‰ Yes

Are you aware that bankruptcy fraud is a serious crime and that if your bankruptcy forms are
inaccurate or incomplete, you could be fined or imprisoned?

‰ No
‰ Yes. Name of Person_____________________________________________________________________.
Attach Bankruptcy Petition Preparer’s Notice, Declaration, and Signature (Official Form 119).

By signing here, I acknowledge that I understand the risks involved in filing without an attorney. I
have read and understood this notice, and I am aware that filing a bankruptcy case without an
attorney may cause me to lose my rights or property if I do not properly handle the case.
