In re George
Dec
20
2010
Ruling
Debtor who had not resided in filing state for 730 days and could not claim exemptions in state of former domicile could claim federal exemptions.
Procedural posture
A Chapter 7 Wisconsin debtor selected the federal exemptions to exempt her property. The trustee objected, claiming that she was limited to the Illinois state exemptions, under which one of her vehicles would not be exempt, arguing that the debtor had not lived in Wisconsin long enough to utilize the exemptions available to Wisconsin residents, and Illinois had opted out of the federal exemptions.
