The best way to find out what to do is to hire an attorney, since that is what we are trained to do. The next best place to find the information is a law library. The statutes are contained in the California Code of Civil Procedure. There are two sets of exemptions. One starts in 703.140(b) and the other starts in 704.010. Which to choose can only be determined after a full analysis of all your assets and their values.
