  1. CALIFORNIA STATE EXEMPTIONS

    California has two sets of exemptions that a debtor can choose from when filing bankruptcy in California.

    Debtors filing bankruptcy in California can use this set of exemptions or the California bankruptcy exemptions found in CCP 703.140.

    An individual filing bankruptcy in California must choose one set of exemptions or the other. You can't take one from this system and another from the other system.

    If their is a lien on the title to the vehicles, then chances are they won't be touched, but that would depend if the vehicles are registered to the business or privately owned.

    Here is a link to find out more about California laws.  It seems California has their own set of rules.
