These usually include luxury items, such as boats, fancy cars, other houses, jewelry, and designer articles. Bankruptcies generally require their liquidation in order to pay off the filers\u2019 debts. If you do have luxuries that are likely to be sold off during bankruptcy, you may prefer to sell them yourself and perhaps avoid filing for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>Pets are not exempted, but the bankruptcy trustee isn\u2019t likely to bother selling them off unless they\u2019re very high value and would help in accumulating the sum necessary to pay back your creditors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chapter_7_Exemptions\"><\/span><strong><b>Chapter 7 Exemptions<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixfreshstartbankruptcy.com\/chapter-7\/\"><u>Chapter 7 bankruptcy<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is about liquidation, so when you file such a bankruptcy petition, be prepared to have your assets sold off to pay your debts. Exemptions may allow you to spare some items. For example, when the exemption coverage amount is higher than the asset\u2019s worth, you\u2019ll get to keep the asset. If the asset has a higher value than the exemption, then the trustee is likely to sell the asset, pay your creditors, and then give you the amount cited in the exemption.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chapter_13_Exemptions\"><\/span><strong><b>Chapter 13 Exemptions<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixfreshstartbankruptcy.com\/chapter-13\/\"><u>Chapter 13 bankruptcy<\/u><\/a>, on the other hand, is about the reorganization. To reorganize your finances, you need to come up with an acceptable debt repayment plan. While your property won\u2019t be liquidated, you do have to pay non-priority unsecured debts. The exemptions will help in reducing your monthly payments since they are in proportion to your non-exempt assets.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Federal_Exemptions\"><\/span><strong><b>Federal Exemptions<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The different states have their own bankruptcy exemption statutes, but in many cases, the states allow their debtors to use federal bankruptcy exemptions instead. This isn\u2019t the case for Arizona, however. Its bankruptcy law requires its residents to use the state statutes, although Arizona debtors may add federal non-bankruptcy exemptions as well. If you want to have a better idea of what exemptions you qualify for, talk to one of your local bankruptcy lawyers and find out which bankruptcy options afford you the best bankruptcy protection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_More_about_Bankruptcy_Exemptions_Contact_an_Arizona_Bankruptcy_Attorney_Now\"><\/span><strong><b>Learn More about Bankruptcy Exemptions!
