Bankruptcy Law and Oklahoma Exemptions

In your first meeting with your Oklahoma bankruptcy attorney you will go over all of the primary differences from Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

During this meeting your Oklahoma bankruptcy attorney will ask you many personal finance questions or provide you with a profile sheet to list certain financial details. The answers you give will help you and your attorney in deciding if filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the correct procedure for you.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation as the bankruptcy trustee may choose to sell or auction non-exempted property (see State Exemptions list below).

However, in most of Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, the person filing bankruptcy does not own non-exempt property, so this would not apply to a large amount of filings. If you do not own much property or have many assets Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the best choice, as you are allowed to discharge most unsecured debt.

Prior to filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy please go over your finances with an Oklahoma bankruptcy attorney to determine exactly how much property may be exempt from liquidation.

Oklahoma State Exemptions

Federal bankruptcy exemptions not available in Oklahoma.

Homestead

Your principal residence, including a manufactured home.

Wages

75 percent of weekly earnings earned in 90 days.

Automobiles

One motor vehicle worth up to $7,500.

Other Property

1. 100 percent of household and kitchen furniture.
2. All cemetery lots.
3. All tools for farming and farm animals.
4. All professionally prescribed health aids.
5. All books, portraits and pictures.
6. Up to $4,000 worth of clothing.
7. Up to $2,000 worth of guns.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is also termed “reorganization”. Those filing Chapter 13 may own more property and by filing Chapter 13 may also retain most of their assets.

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the individual prepares a proposal for a repayment plan for a term of 3 to 5 years, which must be approved by a bankruptcy court. This agreement allows the debtor to repay outstanding bills.
