In most bankruptcy cases, you can keep all property that the law says is "exempt" from the claims of creditors. Exemptions can be determined under your state law or under federal law. In Kansas and Missouri, the exemptions are generally determined under state law.
In general, some exemptions (assets you can keep) in Kansas exemptions include:
- Your home
- Your car (up to $20,000)
- Household goods and clothing
- Property you need in order to do your job
- Pensions and government compensation
- Jewelry
- Life insurance
