Some good news on the Wage Exemption front in Nevada, the Nevada Supreme Court just came down with a decision that holds that a debtor may exempt 75% of all wages held in a debtor's bank account that is traceable as wages.
There was a dispute as to whether the exemption applied to only one weeks worth of pay (thus allowing the trustee to take more than 25% of a persons wages if that person was paid bi-weekly, for example, if you are paid $2,000 every two weeks, and that money is deposited in your checking account, the trustee argued that he would be entitled to $1,250 because the debtor was only allowed to exempt 75% of one weeks worth of pay in a bank account). The Court held that the exemption applies to ALL wages held in a debtor's bank account.Last edited by HHM; 01-03-2007, 01:49 PM.
