[Exemptions] Liane Is Injured in an Automobile Accident and Cannot

Question 64

Multiple Choice

[Exemptions] Liane is injured in an automobile accident and cannot work. She cannot pay her bills and files for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 7. Federal exemptions apply, and Liane lists as exempt $25,000 in equity in her residence; interest in a vehicle of $2,000; interest in jewelry of $400; and retirement funds in her individual retirement account. Her creditors filed an objection to all claimed exemptions except for the home equity claim.
-What is the status of the exemptions Liane claimed on the car and jewelry?


A) Both exemptions will likely be granted because their type and value are within allowable federal exemptions.
B) The exemption claimed for the jewelry will likely be granted; but in order to ascertain the status of the vehicle, further information is needed in regard to whether it is used in business.
C) The exemption claimed for the vehicle will likely be granted, but the exemption claimed for the jewelry will likely be disallowed because no exemption may be claimed for jewelry.
D) The exemption claimed for the vehicle will likely be granted, but the exemption claimed for the jewelry will likely be disallowed because a federal exemption may only be claimed for jewelry consisting of a wedding band worth less than $400.
E) The exemption claimed or the jewelry will likely be allowed, but the exemption claimed for the vehicle will likely be denied because the federal exemption for a vehicle is limited to $1,000.
