Exemptions determine what property you are allowed to keep when you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and how much you pay to certain creditors in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The assets that you are allowed to keep in bankruptcy is determined by the state where you live. In general, if you are a resident of Alabama before filing you will use Alabama bankruptcy exemptions. If married and filing jointly, each spouse can claim the exemptions. Therefore, the exemptions are doubled. Below is an explanation of a few of the major protections under the Alabama exemptions.
