Michigan Free Bankruptcy Forms:

No one should pay for Michigan 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."

NOTICE OF AMENDED FORMS AND AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENTS TO DOLLAR AMOUNTS: On April 1, 2004, automatic adjustments to the dollar amounts stated in various provisions of the Code will become effective in Michigan Bankruptcy Courts. The new dollar amounts will apply to cases filed after the effective date. These amended dollar amounts will affect the eligibility of a debtor to file under Chapter 13 of the Code, certain maximum values of property that a debtor may claim as exempt, the maximum amount of certain claims entitled to priority, the minimum aggregate value of claims needed to commence an involuntary petition, and the value of luxury foods and services deemed to be nondischargeable. The Michigan Bankruptcy Courts will adopt new forms to incorporate these changes beginning April 1, 2004.
