Keeping Your Toys: Federal and State Bankruptcy Exemptions
There is a long and complicated list of federal and state bankruptcy exemptions. There are also dollar limits on what property you can keep and what property creditors can access. When we help clients prepare for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we work together on an exemption plan that takes all of their property into account and maximizes asset protection.
Major federal and state bankruptcy exemptions listed in the Federal Bankruptcy Code and Michigan-specific exemptions include:
- Real estate/homestead (your house)
- Household goods, including clothing, furniture, appliances, linens, one television, one radio, educational equipment and other personal property up to a certain dollar amount
- Personal effects, including toys and hobby equipment up to a certain dollar amount
- Stock bonuses, pensions, disability benefits, life insurance
- Alimony, child support or other maintenance payments
- Veterans' benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation
- Motor vehicle/automobile up to a certain dollar amount
