Pennsylvania State Bankruptcy Exemptions
Laws That Keep Your Creditors' Hands Off Your Property
Exemptions are laws passed by every state that allow you to protect certain
types of your property from your creditors when you file bankruptcy-such as
your home, car, pensions and IRAs, motor vehicles, clothing, tools, and other
important property. Pennsylvania law provides a number of exemptions that
protect your property, and your attorney will be able to advise you on which
exemptions are best for you.
Homestead
No specific homestead exemption. $300 exemption in property of any kind.
Wages
100 percent of personal earnings exempt.
Automobiles
No specific automobile exemption.
Other Property
100 percent of clothing, books, bibles, sewing machines, and veteran's
benefits.
