What Are Bankruptcy Exemptions?
When you file for bankruptcy, you are essentially asking a court to allow you to discharge your debt. However, our state has many property exemptions that allow you to keep a sizeable portion of your property.
Bankruptcy exemptions are state laws that protect certain types of property from being sold at bankruptcy auctions. The types of property that can be protected by bankruptcy exemptions include:
- Personal property - Anything that you own that is not real estate, such as jewelry, electronics, furniture, and clothing.
- Homestead - The house that you live in that is worth less than the state's homestead exemption.
- Motor vehicles - If you own a car or a motorcycle, it may be protected by the state's motor vehicle exemption.
- Tools of the trade - If you are a tradesman, your tools may be protected by the state's tools of the trade exemption.
- Public benefits - If you receive public benefits, such as Social Security Disability, they may be protected by the state's public benefits exemption.
