Updated to reflect latest changes in bankruptcy law, this book explains which debts are discharged by bankruptcy and shows readers how to determine the worth of their property before filing for bankruptcy. An overview of the bankruptcy system and bankruptcy court is followed by guidance in typical bankruptcy procedures in states where filing can be done without an attorney. There is advice on subsequently reestablishing credit, and seeking out alternatives to bankruptcy. Approximately 60 pages of the book are devoted to legal blank forms. Barron's Legal Ease books guide users through business details that are often put in the hands of lawyers, but which can be dealt with by practical men and women who have no formal legal training. Legal-Ease titles present advice and instruction from accredited legal and business experts, and serve as reliable guides for owners of small-to-mid-sized business firms and private individuals. They also make good supplementary texts for business students.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good job.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bankruptcy Step-by-Step (Barron's Legal-Ease) (Paperback)
The author did a good job organizing the information in this book. I would also recommend Surviving Financial Disasters by Tiffany R. Love which comes with a CD ROM and actual sample court documents from someone who has been there and done that.
