http://www.yourdictionary.com/bankruptcy

involuntary bankruptcy
A bankruptcy proceeding initiated by a creditor to legally declare a debtor to be bankrupt and to impound all of the debtor’s non-exempt property, distribute it or its proceeds to the creditors, and extinguish the debtor’s liability.
voluntary bankruptcy
A bankruptcy proceeding voluntarily initiated by a debtor who files a petition with the bankruptcy court to be legally declared a bankrupt and, during the proceeding, surrenders his property in order to discharge his debts.

You may wish to rephrase in order to switch from the adverbial form to the adjectival form, i.e., to "declare voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy," for the sake of better readability.

Explanation:
From Wikipedia:

Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of an individual or organizations to pay their creditors. Creditors may file a bankruptcy petition against a debtor ("involuntary bankruptcy") in an effort to recoup a portion of what they are owed. In the majority of cases, however, bankruptcy is initiated by the debtor (a "voluntary bankruptcy" that is filed by the bankrupt individual or organization).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy

In the case of a voluntary bankruptcy then the debtor declares himself bankrupt i.e. files for bankruptcy, as per examples:
