Page Text: The Guide to Exemption Options For Bankruptcy Attorneys John R. Bates' The purpose of this website is to assist the attorney for a debtor who is considering filing a bankruptcy petition to determine: 1. The sets of exemptions (federal, state, or either) that are available to that debtor; 2. The territorial limitations, if any, there are on use of those exemptions; and 3. The statutory and case law supporting those determinations. QUICK INSTRUCTIONS The following is a very abbreviated statement of how to use this site. The full statement of this process will be found by clicking on the "How" link. 1. Is there a state in which the debtor will have been domiciled continuously for 730 days prior to the anticipated date of filing? Yes: go to 4. No: go to 2. 2. Is there a state in which the debtor will have been domiciled (not necessarily continuously) for more days than in any other state during 180 days prior to the 730 days mentioned in 1? Yes: go to 4. No: go to 3. 3. The debtor must use the federal exemptions. 4. Click on either the "Alabama to Missouri" or the "Montana to Wyoming" link. In column 1 of the chart that is revealed find the state determined in 2 or 3 above. Read what is stated in columns 2-4 of the chart for that state to determine what exemptions (federal, state, or either) the debtor can use. You will need to know whether debtor will be a resident of that state on the date of filing. Please send comments and suggestions to exemptionsexpress@gmail.com. -- John Bates
