A Florida Claim of Exemption and Request for Hearing is a legal document used in the state of Florida to claim an exemption from a creditor's seizure of property. This document is typically used when a creditor has filed a lawsuit to collect a debt from an individual, and the individual wishes to protect certain items of property from seizure. The document allows the individual to declare certain items of property exempt from seizure and to request a hearing to challenge the creditor's claim. There are two types of Florida Claims of Exemption and Request for Hearing: the Homestead Exemption Claim and the Personal Property Exemption Claim. The Homestead Exemption Claim allows an individual to exempt their primary residence from seizure by creditors, while the Personal Property Exemption Claim allows an individual to exempt certain types of personal property from seizure, such as clothing, furniture, and household goods.
