Statement of Financial Affairs
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PREPARATION GUIDE — NOT THE OFFICIAL COURT FORM
Federal bankruptcy filings require the use of Official Bankruptcy Form 107
(Statement of Financial Affairs for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy) as mandated by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9009. This template provides the
substantive legal content to help you prepare — but you must transfer your content to
the official form or your court's e-filing system before filing.
Official forms are available at https://www.uscourts.gov/forms/bankruptcy-forms.
Do not file this document directly with the court.
