Ohio Bankruptcy Exemptions
( Assets that can be kept in a Ohio Bankruptcy )

Ohio has enacted legislation that regulates what property is protected from seizure when a debtor files bankruptcy. Ohio bankruptcy exemptions are assets that you get to keep when you file bankruptcy in Ohio.

A debtor generally may claim exemption of certain real or personal property from execution of a judgment against him or in a bankruptcy proceeding. In a case where the judgment was for money owed for health care services or supplies, the debtor or his family may claim exemption of:

• one parcel or item of real or personal property that he or his family uses as a residence. (O.R.C. 2329.66(A)(1)(a).) In all other judgments, a debtor may claim exemption of his interest, up to five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) in one parcel or item of real or personal property that he or his family uses as a residence,
• one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) in one automobile
