What Are The Exemptions For Bankruptcy In Florida?

In a Chapter 7 case, in order to obtain the benefit of the discharge, meaning the wiping out of the debt, the tradeoff that the federal government has set is that a consumer is limited on the amount of assets they can keep. The exemptions are the list of property that comes from state and federal law, which says which things you are allowed to keep. In Florida, the abbreviated list includes your homestead or primary residence, a certain allowance of personal property, which includes basic household goods, a limited allowance of vehicle equity, retirement funds, and some other assets. In cases outside of Chapter 7, such as Chapter 13, you are allowed to keep all of your assets, but the exemptions may affect your monthly repayment plan.
