| How AI is used | For an individual debtor, list each Official Form 105 field the draft leaves blank. For any other debtor, do the same against Official Form 205. Do not fill either form and do not write the signature block. |
| What the lawyer must review | Official Form 105 is the involuntary petition against an individual. Its face says to use Official Form 205 against a non-individual. Both forms require the chapter, the debtor's identity and address, venue, the § 303(b) and § 303(a) allegations, at least one of the two grounds, and each petitioner's claim. Form 105's request for relief includes a declaration that the information is true and correct and refers to 18 U.S.C. §§ 152 and 3571 and to 11 U.S.C. § 303(i). Form 205 includes a declaration under penalty of perjury and warns of a false statement under 18 U.S.C. §§ 152, 1341, 1519, and 3571. You sign. Bankruptcy Rule 9011(b) is the certificate made by presenting the petition. The 21-day chance to withdraw a paper before a sanctions motion is filed does not apply to filing a petition. |
