What property is exempt from levy under a Writ of Fieri Facias?

What property is exempt from levy under a Writ of Fieri Facias?

• A. Property exempt under Title 34-26 and Title 34-4 (Poor Debtor's Act and the Homestead Act).
• B. Property exempt under the Tax Code.
• C. Property exempt under the Bankruptcy Act.
• D. No property is exempt.

Answer: (A)

Property exemptions protect assets from seizure when a creditor uses a writ of execution to collect a judgment. In this jurisdiction, the property that cannot be levied is the property specifically exempted by statute in Title 34-26 and Title 34-4, which cover the Poor Debtor's Act and the Homestead Act. The Homestead Act shielding the home and the Poor Debtor's Act protecting essential personal property (like household goods, clothing, and basic tools) set the items that are off-limits to levy up to their statutory limits. So, the property exempt from levy is that protected by these acts. Exemptions under the Tax Code aren’t the basis for a writ of execution protection, and bankruptcy exemptions apply only in bankruptcy proceedings. And since statutes provide exemptions, it isn’t correct to say no property is exempt.
