When facing the aftermath of a legal judgment, individuals may find themselves required to complete the Financial Disclosure Form, known as the JGM301, under the statutes Minn. Stat. §§ 491A.02, subd. 9, 550.011. This form serves the crucial purpose of informing the judgment creditor of the debtor's financial resources, including money and property, that could satisfy the judgment awarded in a lawsuit. It not only mandates full disclosure of the debtor's assets but also provides an opportunity to identify exempt assets, which are protected by law and cannot be used to pay the judgment. The form requires detailed information about the judgment debtor's income, property, bank accounts, and other assets, urging thoroughness and accuracy. Importantly, it outlines exemptions for certain types of income and assets, such as wages below a specific threshold and essential personal property. Claiming these exemptions improperly can lead to serious consequences, including penalties and the awarding of costs and attorney fees to the aggrieved party. Individuals are advised to seek guidance from court administrators, the court self-help center, or legal counsel should they have questions or concerns about filling out the form correctly or about the implications of the disclosed information.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE FORM |
The purpose of this Financial Disclosure Form is to tell the JUDGMENT CREDITOR what money and property you have which may
be used to pay the judgment the creditor obtained against you in the lawsuit. It also allows you to tell the creditor that some or all of your property and money is “exempt,” which means that it cannot be taken to pay the judgment. You must answer all questions on
this form. If you need more space, continue your answer on the back of the form or attach additional sheets if necessary. If you have questions about this form, you may contact your local court administrator, call the court self help center at 651
WARNING: IF YOU CLAIM AN EXEMPTION IN BAD FAITH, OR IF THE JUDGMENT CREDITOR WRONGLY OBJECTS TO AN EXEMPTION IN BAD FAITH, THE COURT MAY ORDER THE PERSON WHO ACTED IN BAD FAITH TO PAY COSTS, ACTUAL DAMAGES, ATTORNEY FEES, AND AN EXTRA $100.
