FAQ
Arizona has protections in place for those declaring bankruptcy in the state. The Arizona homestead exemption, for example, protects your primary residence during bankruptcy if you have no more than $150,000 in equity. Likewise, retirement and pension accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs are exempt during bankruptcy.
Arizona has a very generous homestead exemption of $250,000. This means you can protect up to $250,000 of equity in a home you own. The amount is the same whether the home is owned by a single person or a married couple.
And some states also allow judgment liens on the debtor's personal property -- things like jewelry, art, antiques, and other valuables. In Arizona, a judgment lien can be attached to real estate only (meaning a house or similar property).
All judgments must be in writing, and the court must mail copies to all parties. The judgment must clearly state the determination of the rights of the parties. The judgment is due and payable immediately after the judgment is rendered by the justice of the peace or a hearing officer in small claims court.
Arizona's homestead exemption exempts up to $150,000 of a person's equity in their dwelling from attachment, execution or forced sale. The exemption applies to a person's house and land, inium or cooperative, mobile home or mobile home and land.
