Bankruptcy Mac

Here is a program that member Clayton Osting created in Filemaker about 1991 and which he has been selling ever since. Bankruptcy Mac has all current forms through and including the December 1, 2001, form change to the Voluntary Petition the new Exhibit C. It does not have all the bells and whistles of some of the more commercialized programs, but it will get your petition out the door faster than most. If you are a subscriber to MacLaw, and have obtained the program through MacLaw, you may use the program free (no charge) until 1/1/2003, or (of course) until the forms are no longer valid.

After 1/1/2003, you must purchase a license to continue to use the program. The cost for the license is $49.00. From Clayton P. Osting.
