The Bankruptcy Process – All About Bankruptcy
There is a great deal of confusion about the filing of bankruptcy in Canada vs. the United States. This article will focus on the filing of a bankruptcy in Canada. The bankruptcy process starts with initially consulting with a licensed Trustee. You need to meet with a trustee who is licensed by the federal government and practices in your local area. So the first step is to contact a local trustee and set up a time for them to evaluate where you are at financially. To be able to adequately explain all your options and give any quality advice this trustee will begin by reviewing the details of your financial situation. To do this they will sit down with you in person and talk about the fundamental areas of our personal finances (i.e. assets, income, living expenses and debts).
