What bankruptcy questions should I ask my Ontario bankruptcy trustee before filing for bankruptcy?

You will likely have a lot of bankruptcy questions to ask your Ontario bankruptcy trustee. You have never gone through a bankruptcy, so naturally you will have lots of questions about the bankruptcy process. That’s why we created the Frequently Asked Bankruptcy Questions section of this web site.

Most people want to know "How much does it cost to go bankrupt?"

Most people ask "What do I get to keep if I go bankrupt?"

For others, they want to know "How does bankruptcy affect my spouse?"

As you think of questions, write them down!

Most people are slightly embarrassed or nervous when they first meet a trustee, and they often forget what questions they want to ask. If you write them down and bring them with you, you can be sure that all of your questions will be answered.

Also, ask for the phone number and e-mail address of the person you met with at the trustee's office, so that if you have more questions after your meeting you can contact them for more information.

One final bit of advice:

Don’t sign the bankruptcy paperwork until all of your questions have been answered. You should fully understand how bankruptcy will affect you before you start the process.
