Iowa Exempt Property Legal Disputes

Today, Iowa bankruptcies and plagued with conflicts created by the new reform amendments. Until late 2005, all state residents were authorized to claim unlimited homestead value. With federal preemption imposed by the new laws, Iowa bankruptcy exemption caps now limit value, with state law limiting acreage. Many Iowa bankruptcy lawyers find these new laws onerous, especially the new disposable income testing method for qualification for Chapter 7 exemptions. These new Iowa bankruptcy laws are based on the state median income and affect all people seeking to discharge debts.
