What type of information will I need to provide to my attorney before filing for bankruptcy?

When filing for bankruptcy in West Virginia, it is important to provide detailed and accurate information to your attorney. The types of information you should provide to your attorney include a list of all your assets and debts (legal obligations), a list of all of the payments you made to creditors in the 90 days prior to filing your bankruptcy paperwork, recent tax returns, and proof of income. Additionally, you should provide your attorney with an explanation about why you are filing for bankruptcy and detailed information on any pending lawsuits or judgments against you. Your attorney will need to know if you have received property or items of value in the 90 days before filing and the value should also be provided. In most cases, your attorney will also require you to provide them with a detailed employer history over the last two years as well. Your attorney will ask you to provide them with the name of your employers, the dates you were employed, and your salary or wages. If you own a business, you should provide your attorney with documents showing the business’s income, expenses, and financial statements. Once you have provided your attorney with all of the requested information, they can review it and decide if filing for bankruptcy is the right choice for you.
