What Is Exempt and What Is not Exempt?
One of the keys to a successful bankruptcy is identifying what assets are exempt and which assets are not. Exempt assets are those assets which creditors are not allowed to take. These include:
- Home equity
- IRA, 401-K and pension assets
- Florida Pre-Paid College Tuition and 529 Plans
- Annuities
- Cash surrender value of life insurance
- Workers' compensation and Social Security Disability benefits
- And other exempt assets
You even get wild-card exemptions of $1,000 for personal property ($5,000 if you don't have a home) and $1,000 towards the equity in your vehicle.

Attorney James Schwitalla is highly experienced in identifying exempt property, having represented thousands of people in South Florida in bankruptcy court.
