Hello sir/mam
Bankruptcy is filed in an individual capacity with/without including the spouse, but first, you will have to hire a lawyer to help prepare the petition.
After the suit has been filed, the court shall fix a date for hearing. Here, you will be required to produce books of accounts, an inventory of your properties and the list of creditors. The court will examine your conduct, dealings and properties in the presence of the creditors. This gives the latter an opportunity to examine if you have made a full disclosure of your real estate holdings.
