"Colorado Free Bankruptcy Forms"
No one should pay for Colorado bankruptcy forms. Courts provide free forms. However, many bankruptcy software
programs provide much more than forms, including easy editing, error checking, explanations, cites to statutes,
cases and rule requirements, and are updated for compliance with local rules.
| The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, in Rule 9009, provide "The Official Forms
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States shall be observed and used with alterations as
may be appropriate. Forms may be combined and their contents rearranged to permit economies in their use.
The Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts may issue additional forms for use
under the Code. The forms shall be construed to be consistent with these rules and the Code." |
NOTE: Spanish language forms and information may be obtained from a various websites, including the United
State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
