Understanding How to File Bankruptcy in Utah

Navigating the Utah bankruptcy process can seem daunting, but we’re here to simplify it for you. To initiate your bankruptcy filing in Utah, the law requires you to provide the following documentation:

  • A complete list of all your outstanding debts and owned assets.
  • Pay stubs covering the last seven months of employment.
  • Copies of your tax returns for the previous four years.
  • Essential personal background information.


With these necessary documents, our experienced team can begin preparing your bankruptcy case for submission to the Utah bankruptcy court. Accuracy is paramount; all information, including creditor names and addresses, must be current. Omitting assets or other critical details can, unfortunately, lead to the rejection of your application.
However, you don’t have to face this complex process alone. The trusted Utah bankruptcy lawyers at Rulon T. Burton & Associates, serving Salt Lake City and surrounding areas, offer comprehensive support. We even provide a free, downloadable Utah bankruptcy help packet that clearly outlines the required information for filing.
We recognize that getting organized is the crucial first step toward achieving financial freedom. Once you’ve gathered your paperwork, you can meet with our knowledgeable team, and in many cases, we can initiate the filing of your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy on the very same day.
