Form-based questionnaires, whether hard-copy or online, follow the flow of the official bankruptcy forms. This is usually done to make it easier for petition preparers to locate and enter or edit forms on the documents. I don’t believe it is best for clients, because some information on the official forms is duplicated in different schedules and forms.
As an example, a client answers information about their current residence, then at another point answers questions about a home loan or rental lease, then later answer questions about where they lived for the previous 3 years.
Our subject-based interview worksheets follow a more natural approach. All questions and document requests for subjects are together – making it an easier process for the client.
