No time limit. Bankruptcy is about real life they follow the money, & even if your affiliations are discovered they can be explained.

Bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step. Most Arizona bankruptcy attorneys offer a free consultation about the basics of bankruptcy.

If you don't mind disclosing the existence of the accounts and providing copies of the account records, there would be no need to wait. If you don't want to have to reveal what was in the accounts, 6 months would be a reasonable time to wait. Clearly, more information about this matter could change my answer to you.

None of what you're describing should cause you to have to wait to file a bankruptcy. That said, filing for bankruptcy is a process and there is some strategy involved. I highly suggest you consult with an attorney.

I would recommend that you wait 4 years in order to protect your sister. If you don't care about her, then file anytime.
