    North Carolina exemptions (doubling with spouse)

    I've read through the exemptions for NC and I'm a little confused.
    Description of NC exemptions
    Actual text of the statute

    In the descriptions, it specifically mentions doubling of the homestead exemption for a married couple filing jointly. For the rest of the exemptions, it doesn't mention anything about this.
    But the specific wording in the statute is:
    "Each individual, resident of this State, who is a debtor is entitled to retain free of the enforcement of the claims of creditors..."

    So this sounds like the amounts listed are per person, so for a couple, it seems like it should be double for everything. Does anyone know if this is the case?

    I'm specifically wondering about three things:
    Motor vehicle - $3500
    Household furnishings - 5k plus 1k per dependent
    Unused portion of homestead - 5k that can be used for any property

    It sounds like we should each be able to claim these amounts. Anyone know if that's true?
