Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Property Claimed as Exempt in a Chapter 7 Filing

On ''Schedule C'' of the Bankruptcy Forms (Property

Claimed as Exempt) I am unclear which box to check.

(E.g. Am I entitled to exemptions under 11 U.S.C.

Section 522 (b) (1) (Exemptions provided in 522 (d)) or,

exemptions provided under 11 U.S.C. Section 522 (b)

(2)? For California, which is appropriate?

( I am a renter with limited personal property and no

car).

Thank you very much.

If you're a California debtor, you will want to use (b)(2), and then the California Code of Civil Procedure � 703.140 series of exemptions.
