Official Forms and Petition Preparation

Official Forms & Petition Preparation

Some bankruptcy forms/documents are available in the Clerk's Office, through the public access terminals and from the court’s website at  www.vaeb.uscourts.gov/ under the Bankruptcy Forms icon. Where available, you may purchase the bankruptcy petition forms kit from a local office supply store.

 

If someone other than an attorney assists you with the preparation of the bankruptcy forms, the petition preparer must sign the voluntary petition and provide you with the notice contained in Bankruptcy Official Form 19, Declaration and Signature of Non-Attorney Bankruptcy Petition Preparer (see 11 U.S.C.§110).  This form is available from the Clerk’s Office and on the Court’s website at www.vaeb.uscourts.gov/ under the  Bankruptcy Forms icon.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: Corporations and Partnerships must be represented by an attorney when filing for bankruptcy.
