How Do I Become Bankrupt in Scotland?
In Scotland, bankruptcy is called sequestration. Here's what you need to know:
📌 Creditor Petition: Creditors owed £10,000+ can petition the court to make you bankrupt. You’ll be notified and can make representations before the sheriff decides.
📌 Self-Sequestration: Individuals can apply for bankruptcy through the Accountant in Bankruptcy, often with the help of an insolvency practitioner.
📌 Choosing a Trustee: Self-sequestration allows you to choose your trustee and discuss crucial matters like home equity and monthly contributions.
Whether facing creditor petition or considering self-sequestration, we can guide you through the process.

    For shareholders what's the timeline after e5 and e6 forms have been filed before a disbursement is scheduled?

    Questions - if you would be so kind to answer: 1. So, if a person has assets that could clear the debt in full, what advantage (if any) would sequestration have over the person simply selling their assets and clearing the debt?? 2. Wouldn't the person be better to simply sell their assets, clear the debts in full, and 'not' file for sequestration? 3. They could also apply for 6 months moratorium? - As far as I know, this does not do any damage and is purely breathing space to sort out their finances? True? 4. Albeit only a decree would do some damage to their credit record. Am I correct in all 4 points? Thank you.
