Bankruptcy consultation question, source-list and private-record routing workbook
A bankruptcy consultation can involve sensitive records and decisions that do not belong in a public preparation worksheet. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai creates a neutral Consultation A / Question A / Private Source List A / Secure Route A / Representation Stage A chain. It does not choose a bankruptcy chapter or form, assess eligibility, calculate deadlines, give filing instructions or collect financial details.

Preparation only, not legal, bankruptcy, tax, accounting, financial, credit, filing, form, deadline or court advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed. This workbook does not select a chapter or form; assess eligibility, exemptions or discharge; calculate deadlines; advise payments; direct a filing; or record financial facts. Keep all case facts and private records out and discuss them privately with qualified counsel.

How to use this resource
Write only high-level questions and neutral private-source category labels. Do not enter names, addresses, account or case numbers, creditor lists, balances, income, assets, expenses, tax details or document contents. Ask the attorney what should be discussed privately, how records should be delivered securely, which stages are included in the proposed engagement and who owns each follow-up. Leave all legal, filing, deadline, financial and court decisions to qualified counsel and appropriate official sources.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.

- Which categories of existing records, if any, should I gather without sending them yet?
- What secure method and named role should receive any requested private records?
- Which consultation, preparation, filing or representation stages are included or excluded?
- How will chapter, form, eligibility, deadline and court questions be answered by counsel?
