Jacksonville, FL asked in Bankruptcy for Indiana

Q: The trusteee objects to my claiming 100% of FMV on my tenancy by entirety home and wants to sieze $2900 in FPUC funds

I am Pro se. In Sched A/B on some items I claimed 100% of FMV instead of an specific amount. The trustee has moved to invalidate Schedules A/B and C which also has a tennency by the entirety exemption. Also I claimed a tangible wildcard exemption on $3000 in bank accounts and not the $400 intangible limit. $2900 of balance is from Indiana FPUC direct deposits as demonstarted by bank statements over the last 60 days. The trustee is trying to pay this to creditors. I have been spending it to support the household.

A: Now is the time for you to get a lawyer!

The trustee's objections are probably not well founded, but the law is tricky and something about which you appear to be initiated. Tenants by the entireties is a proper exemption if the underlying facts are there. You need a proper analysis.

Good Luck
