One dark, stormy night in the Mankato, Minnesota area, Kevin sat alone in his den. He was looking through bank statements, wondering how he\u2019d be able to cover both his medical bills and his son\u2019s college tuition for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

Lightning flashed in the distance. Kevin started, looking from the dark window towards the ticking cat-eye clock on the kitchen wall. The time had come. He was prepared to file his skeleton petition<\/a> for bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At this point in the story, you should be screaming, \u201cStop, Kevin! Don\u2019t do it!\u201d Kevin is about to make a mistake. Filing a skeleton petition for bankruptcy is dangerous, and almost always inadvisable.<\/p>\n

So, how can you become a hero in your own scary story? Here are three things to do in order to avoid skeleton petitions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do<\/u><\/strong> your research<\/strong>: What, exactly, is a skeleton petition? These petitions, often referred to as \u201cskeletons\u201d or \u201cghosts,\u201d are filed in bankruptcy court with minimal information, in order to avoid foreclosure. These documents are usually three or four pages long, whereas typical petitions are twenty to thirty pages long.<\/li>\n
  2. Do<\/u><\/strong> find a professional attorney<\/strong>: Folks usually don\u2019t file a skeleton petition if they\u2019re working with a trained, professional bankruptcy attorney. If you are advised to file a skeleton petition, it\u2019s a sign that your attorney is either inexperienced or unprofessional.<\/li>\n
  3. Do<\/u><\/strong> go through the process<\/strong>: Often, people file skeleton petitions in order to avoid the entire bankruptcy process or to delay foreclosure. However, skeleton cases are typically dismissed. This means that you\u2019ll need to file again, and ultimately, you\u2019ll need to go through the traditional bankruptcy procedure within a court.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you live in the Mankato, Minnesota area, don\u2019t make Kevin\u2019s mistakes. You can avoid skeleton petitions, and as a result, your scary story might not be so scary after all.<\/p>\n
