Affidavit of Debtor

An Affidavit of Debtor is a sworn statement made by a debtor in a bankruptcy case, attesting to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided in their bankruptcy petition and schedules. The affidavit is typically signed under penalty of perjury and is filed with the court along with the other bankruptcy documents. The purpose of the affidavit is to ensure that the debtor is being truthful and transparent about their financial situation and to provide a basis for the court and the other parties to rely on the information provided. If the debtor is found to have made false or misleading statements in the affidavit, they may face criminal penalties or other sanctions.
