Why Should You Disclose All Assets?
You must sign your bankruptcy papers under penalty of perjury, swearing that everything in them is true.
You're Swearing That:
- Forms Are Complete
- ALL Property, Income, & Debts Listed
Filing incomplete or inaccurate bankruptcy forms can lead to your case being dismissed -- or worse, if the court thinks you left out information or made statements that aren't true on purpose.

Don't Deliberately Hide Assets or Other Financial Details
