There are various ways you can prepare for a bankruptcy filing, even before you meet with your bankruptcy attorney. As a prerequisite to filing bankruptcy, one must provide full financial disclosure to the bankruptcy court. One must also be completely open and forthright and must be willing to provide any and all documents requested by the bankruptcy trustee, after the case is filed. When preparing for filing a future bankruptcy case, it is wise to keep detailed records of any large financial transactions and to begin collecting paystubs, bank statements, and recent tax returns, as they are all subject to be requested by the bankruptcy trustee.
