California and Nevada Bankruptcy Exemptions

When filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, state law allows you to keep certain assets to help with your fresh start.

The following property is generally considered exempt, meaning you will be able to keep it after filing for bankruptcy:

  • Your car up to a certain value
  • Your home up to a certain value
  • Furniture and household goods (aside from luxury items)
  • Tools of your trade
  • Social Security, welfare and unemployment benefits
  • Pensions

Bankruptcy exemptions are largely determined by state law. In California, you have two options of exemptions to choose from when filing for bankruptcy. Each plan has different exemption provisions. In Nevada there is one set of exemptions. Our attorneys can work with you to explore how your assets will be handled in a bankruptcy.
