Bankruptcy Cover Sheet Petition PDF Details

The Bankruptcy Cover Sheet Petition, also called Local Bankruptcy Form 1002-1.1, is a mandatory filing document for bankruptcy cases in Colorado federal court. This cover sheet serves as a comprehensive checklist to ensure your bankruptcy petition includes all required attachments before submission.

The form covers four bankruptcy chapters. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation process available to individuals and businesses. Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows businesses and individuals to reorganize debts through a court-approved plan. Chapter 12 bankruptcy is designed for family farmers and fishermen with regular income. Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets individuals with regular income propose a three to five year repayment plan for their creditors.

Along with the cover sheet, bankruptcy filers must submit Schedules A through J, which document all assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. A Statement of Financial Affairs, a credit counseling certificate, and other required bankruptcy documents must also be included. Debtors filing without an attorney (pro se) can enroll in electronic case notifications to stay informed about their bankruptcy proceedings.

Business debtors must provide information about the type of business entity, including whether it qualifies as a health care business, single asset real estate, or another specialized category under federal bankruptcy law. These distinctions affect which bankruptcy chapter applies and what additional forms are required.
