Cash Exemptions?

[EJdidit]

I keep seeing up to $7,500 in bank deposits for Oregon Exemptions. Does the source of the funds matter (i.e. wages, sale of non exempt property, sale of exempt property)? And does that amount double if filing jointly?

Finally, should I expect an attorney to give me advice on how to legally maximize exemptions or will I have to look to another source/do my own research and then ask the attorney?

Thanks in advance for any responses

Hi EJ Welcome to the forum. I have moved your post into it's own thread so that it can get the proper attention it deserves. You will get better responses that way.

Good luck to you!

Have no clue on the Oregon Laws. You might try using 'Google' and type in Oregan bankruptcy exemptions. Think you will find several of websites which list Oregon's exemptions.

Just wanted to welcome you to this wonderful forum. I suggest you make Free Consultations with about 3-5 Bankruptcy Attorneys. Try to stay away from BK mills. How do you know if they are a BK Mill? If it is the Paralegal who meets with you on the Free Consultations.

Since you are considering BK, I would make those appts. ASAP as Bankruptcy
Attorneys are swamped with people wanting to file BK.

Again, welcome

Luci
