The Michigan Bankruptcy Petition Cover Sheet is a form that must be filed with the initial bankruptcy petition filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The form serves to provide the bankruptcy court with information about the filing, including the type of bankruptcy being filed, the date of filing, and the name and address of the petitioner. It must accompany all petitions filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, regardless of whether the filing is under Chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. There are two types of Michigan Bankruptcy Petition Cover Sheet: the individual debtor cover sheet and the joint debtor cover sheet. The individual debtor cover sheet is used for a bankruptcy filing made by a single person, while the joint debtor cover sheet is used when two or more people are filing jointly.
