Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Nevada
I reside in Nevada. I'm about to file for bankruptcy. I recently had my entire bank account garnished and I'm concerned that the same could happen to my truck. I have $5,000 equity in my truck.
Chapter 21 of the Nevada Revised Statutes lists property that is exempt from execution. NRS 21.090 exempt income includes one vehicle with less than $15,000 equity.
Am I right in thinking that my vehicle is safe from my creditors?
Thanks.

Yes, whether you file or not. You can also get $1,000 of the bank account back. NRS 21.090(1)(z).
