RE:     ECF Filing Declaration

 

 

Below is a copy of ADeclaration Re: Electronic Filing@ that must be submitted with each case you file.  Both your client(s) and you are required to execute this document regarding the accuracy of the petition filed and verify that he/she is or they are individual(s) who signed the ECF petition. 

 

You, as the attorney, are required to declare under the penalty of perjury that you have confirmed the identity of the debtor(s) and that the information contained in the petition and schedules, to the best of your knowledge, is true, correct, and complete.  You are also stating that a hard copy of the petition and schedules will be forwarded to me as the case trustee and the Office of the United States Trustee.  

 

This document should be placed in the United States Trustee=s box in the bankruptcy Clerk=s Office.  This is a document required by the Office of the United States Trustee and not the clerk.
