If you think that you have nothing now, the new bankruptcy laws could even shrink that! The new bankruptcy law overhauls the laws that were modified in 1978. It not only tightens the requirements for those who want to file for bankruptcy but for their attorneys as well.
Any person in their right mind does not want to file for bankruptcy protection. Having a root canal is several levels about that in terms of “things I want to do”. One of the big problems is that when someone finally gets around to admitting that their financial situation is so far down the wrong road that it is out of control, it’s almost too late. The decision to file bankruptcy or consider bankruptcy should have been made, with any foresight at all, at least 2-3 years earlier in most cases.
Bankruptcy is when a person makes a legal declaration stating that one is legally insolvent. This article will deal with voluntary bankruptcy. This is where a debtor files a petition stating they are unable to meet their creditors requirements.
