New Hampshire’s Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Exemptions

As you may know, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also called a “liquidation” bankruptcy because your bankruptcy trustee can liquidate (sell to raise cash) your non-exempt belongings. This means that your trustee can pay off some of your debts by selling some of your possessions-–but not all of them.

To get an idea of which of your belongings are off-limits for the liquidation sale, take a look at the handy list below.

Homestead: A residence worth up to $100,000.

Wages: Fifty times the federal minimum hourly wage per week.

Vehicle: One automobile worth up to $4,000 is exempt.

Personal Property: The following miscellaneous items are exempted:

  • 100 percent of necessary clothing and bedding.
  • Up to $3,500 worth of household furniture.
  • One stove, one refrigerator, kitchen utensils, service uniforms, one sewing machine.
  • Up to $400 worth of provisions and fuel.
  • Up to $800 worth of Bibles, school books and library books.
  • Up to $5,000 worth of trade tools.
  • One hog, one pig, six sheep and one cow or horse.
  • One church pew and burial plot.
  • $500 worth of jewelry.
  • Up to $1,000 worth of other property.
  • Up to $7,000 worth of unused exemptions to be used on other items.
