Prepare Form 1

The Individual Estate Property Record and Report (Form 1) provides a blueprint for each asset case.  It details all estate assets, both scheduled and unscheduled, and reflects the status of their disposition.

It compares the debtor’s opinion of each scheduled asset’s value, the trustee’s estimated net value to the estate for each estate asset, and the actual value realized by the trustee.

It also supports the decision regarding administration of each asset.  For assets not administered, Form 1 reflects abandonments, whether past or future, formal or informal.  For assets administered or to be administered, Form 1 reflects the amounts realized and the anticipated remaining value of assets not completely liquidated.
