What Are the Different Types of Indiana Bankruptcy Exemptions?
Your nonexempt assets can be liquidated to pay back your creditors, but many individuals are able to keep all of their personal property. Under federal and state bankruptcy laws, people who file are able to exempt certain property from liquidation.
Under Indiana law, there are three main exemptions:
- Homestead exemption
- Personal property exemption
- And general intangible exemption
What Is a Homestead Exemption?
Homestead exemptions protect a set amount of equity within one's home or principal residence.
An individual who files for bankruptcy is allowed to exempt up to $22,750 of their exposed home equity.
Joint filers can exempt up to $45,500. Additionally, the interest that debtors have in a real estate can be exempt under Indiana Code Ann. § 34-55-10-2.
