When serious financial problems occur your local Charlotte bankruptcy attorney is the person to see. Most people have no idea what to do when they are in serious trouble. Before you see your lawyer for a consultation it is important to know what things to bring, and here are answers to common questions.

The law states that you must have income analysis before declaring a chapter 7. This means you need to bring definite proof of income for at least six months. Include all of your pay stubs and any receipts for bonuses and if you are self employed bring those income records.

If you own a house bring in your real estate records. This includes payment info and how much you owe on the property. However, it is also important to determine an approximate current value of your property. If a recent appraisal is not available, check to see what similar homes are selling for in your neighborhood.

At your initial consultation you should have info on all loans that you have incurred. You should bring along all charge card statements too. Perhaps you owe medical bills or other things. These items must be included plus pay off amounts. In fact, bring in any paperwork that you feel is important.

You need to determine your approximate worth in dollars and compare that against all the debts that you owe. For your assets, include everything you own including personal possessions like jewelry. You also must include recreational vehicles like ATV bikes and jet skis.

On your first visit with your Charlotte bankruptcy attorney you can ask the lawyer about anything on your mind. The better prepared you are, the more your lawyer can help you. Talk to the helpful staff at the office to make sure you have everything you need for the first visit.
