The statement of intention applies to the secure debts of a debtor going through a chapter 7. It is a declaration that describes the plans the debtor has for dealing with their debts. It answers the question: What do I do next? A debtor has three options to answer that question. They can reaffirm the debt, redeem the debt, or surrender the property to which the debt is tied.

There are many opportunities for mistakes with a statement of intention—like loss of property. If you have an attorney that understands bankruptcy properly, this situation can be quick and easy for you
