Description
Learn about the exemptions available under the Bankruptcy Code.
Whether you are a creditor, represent a debtor or a creditor, or are just dying to know about bankruptcy exemptions, this course has something for everyone. This topic will discuss exemptions available under the Bankruptcy Code. There will be discussions on state versus federal exemptions and their differences. This material will provide a perspective from both a debtors point of view and a creditors point of view. As important as it is to learn about exemptions from both sides, it is just as or even more important to learn how the bankruptcy trustee is involved, what the trustee is looking for, and what duties the trustee has. Additionally, the speakers will also discuss what happens to the property of the estate that cannot be exempted or when a creditor has been successful in objecting to exemptions. This panel will highlight exemptions from a 30,000foot view and break down the ins and outs of using and objecting to exemptions.
