Bankruptcy Basics: Part 1
Part 1 includes three questions about the debtor’s background. Question 1 asks for the debtor’s marital status. Question 2 requires the debtor to provide all prior addresses where the debtor resided within the previous three years. The debtor does not need to list their current residence. The answer to this question may help the trustee or other parties verify the identity of the debtor and determine whether the debtor’s claim of exemptions is proper under the domiciliary requirements of section 522(b)(3)(A). Ms. Reyes has listed her former residence.
