I cannot stress strongly enough going to talk to a qualified bankruptcy attorney. Many attorneys don't even handle Chapter 11 cases due to their complexity, and getting answers off an internet forum will not prepare you for what must be done.

There are many things that happen when you file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. You are the trustee of your own business in chapter 11, so you maintain your possessions. All of your debts must be provided for in your chapter 11 plan. Your plan states from where payment is made and how. Chapter 11 is the most complicated type of bankruptcy. You should see the advice of an attorney who is a certified specialist in bankruptcy law. Consult the State Bar for a listing of those attorneys in your area.
