As the party doing the filing, you’ll need to provide your attorney with all of that paperwork, as organized as possible, but you won’t have to do the sorting and examining of each item by yourself. It may not sound like much, but if you look at the pile of material that needs to be examined before you can even start the evaluation you will truly appreciate the role of your lawyer in the process.Once everything has been sorted and a clear financial picture of the company is available, your Minnesota bankruptcy attorney can evaluate the need for a bankruptcy filing and start assessing which bills can be placed into a restructuring plan through Chapter 11. Ideally, you’ll want to have all liabilities batched into the plan, but some items, such as certain types of taxes owed, won’t be eligible. Once again, using your attorney in this phase of the filing is critical. Most individuals don’t know the tax laws and bankruptcy guidelines on taxes. It’s an area you won’t want to make any mistakes, so make sure you get the help you need to do it right.
