Bankruptcy Basics: SCHEDULES
All debtors who file a bankruptcy case, under any chapter, must submit Schedules A/B through J (Official Form 6). These schedules are intended to comply with section 521(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 1007(b). The main purpose of these schedules is to give an exact picture of the debtor’s assets, liabilities, budget, and financial affairs as of the petition date, in a uniform manner that facilitates administration of the case. The following sections describe generally how these schedules are to be completed, but local rules may impose additional requirements.
