If I have 3 cars worth $1500, when I file Chapter 7 will they take the cars?
Question Details:
That depends on what exemptions you have available under applicable law and what the value of your other assets are.
Exemptions are "protections" for value you have in certain assets such that they are "exempt" from collections. Every state has different exemptions amounts available. Exemption laws are based on the state where you resided for the 2 years prior to filing your bankruptcy case or, if you lived in more than 1 state during that period, in the state where you resided for the greater part of the 180 days prior to that 2 year period.
