You must co-operate fully with the Official Assignee's office in all matters relating to your bankruptcy. You must inform the Official Assignee if you change address.

Initially you must attend for interview with the Official Assignee. You must also file a Statement of Affairs in the Office of the Examiner of the High Court. This document sets out all of your financial details including assets held and all amounts owed by you. The statutory court sitting will only be passed in the High Court when your Statement of Affairs has been filed.

You also have other legal obligations in connection with the administration of your estate and assets. This includes:

• the delivery of your accounts or papers to the Official Assignee when requested,
• the delivery of your  title deeds to property and any other possessions to the Official Assignee,
• assisting the Official Assignee in the administration of your estate, and
• disclosing any property acquired by you since the date of your bankruptcy order to the Official Assignee.

Where you fail to co-operate with the Official Assignee, the High Court may summon you to examine you under oath.
