Oklahoma Exemptions
Many people are afraid that they will lose their house or car or other personal belongings if they file bankruptcy. The truth is that Oklahoma has a very liberal list of exempt property primarily found in Title 31 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Our bankruptcy clients are ofton happy to learn that they can keep their car or their house or their trade tools among other things after meeting with our bankruptcy lawyers. A brief excerpt of this statute is shown in the following table. For more specific questions about what property you are allowed to keep, and what limitations may apply, contact us at Robinson Law PC and we will be happy to advise you.
