Which acts provide exemptions from levy?

• A. Property exempt under Title 34-26 and Title 34-4 (Poor Debtor's Act and the Homestead Act).
• B. Federal tax exemptions act.
• C. Social security exemptions act.
• D. Bankruptcy exemptions act.

Answer: (A)

Exemption from levy means certain property cannot be seized to satisfy a judgment. In this jurisdiction, the property protected from levy is defined by state laws known as the Poor Debtor's Act and the Homestead Act, codified in Title 34-26 and Title 34-4. These acts spell out what items a debtor can keep, such as the homestead (home) up to a set value and essential personal property (clothing, household goods, tools, etc.) up to specified amounts, so those assets aren’t subject to levy when a creditor is enforcing a judgment. The other options pertain to different contexts—federal tax collection, protection of Social Security benefits, or property protected during bankruptcy—and don’t provide the standard levy exemptions used in ordinary civil process in this state.
