Do the officers,directors or share holders of a closely held corporation have to sign the bankruptcy forms in a chapter 7 voluntary filing?

When I file a bankruptcy on behalf of a client that is a corporation, I review the Bylaws to see who has the legal authority to sign this type of document on behalf of the corporation. I also have the shareholders and directors adopt a resolution authorizing the bankruptcy. In most cases, I have the president sign on behalf of the corporation.

It is the "company" that is filing and not an individual. It would require the signature of the Secretary of the company since it is a legal form and the signature of one other officer, usually the President/CEO or Treasurer/CFO
