Question:

What is the schedule G bankruptcy form?

Answer:

Schedule G is one of the bankruptcy forms you must fill out in order to file bankruptcy. This form, called a schedule, provides specific information to the bankruptcy trustee who will oversee your transaction. You must fill out the form thoroughly and properly in order for the bankruptcy to proceed.

Bankruptcy Schedule G

On the Schedule G bankruptcy form, you will need to list any type of contract or lease you currently have. These are unexpired leases and contracts and are considered a form of debt you must continue to pay after bankruptcy. Some examples of these include:

  • Property that you are renting out to live in
  • Leases on a vehicle
  • Leases on other forms of real estate
  • Contracts for services provided

These are types of legal contracts that you have in place and are obligated to repay the debt on. You should not list contracts that you hold on other people, though. Rather, this information applies to the type of debt you have.

In short, the debts listed here are a form of debt you have. You will need to list all forms of debt that you have, such as credit cards, personal loans and mortgage loans. You then need to state if you plan to keep that property or get rid of it. The same is true of leases and contracts.

Hire an Attorney

Work with an attorney to properly fill out your bankruptcy documents. In many instances, the attorney can help you to protect your assets and ensure that unneeded debts, including some of these contracts, are included in your discharge.
