Our Provo bankruptcy lawyers will help by making sure that you understand this law to help you list your assets correctly.
• Preferences-bankruptcy law in Provo states that you cannot repay relatives within 1 year of filing for bankruptcy. If these payments are made the court can claim the repayment to disperse among the creditors.
