A South Carolina Exempt Property Claim is a legal document used to protect certain types of property from creditors in the event of a bankruptcy filing. This type of claim is made by a debtor in order to protect their assets from creditors and allow them to keep possession of those assets. The types of South Carolina exempt property claims include: homestead exemption, motor vehicle exemption, wildcard exemption, and personal property exemption. The homestead exemption protects up to $60,000 of a debtor’s equity in their primary residence. The motor vehicle exemption protects up to $3,500 of a debtor’s equity in one motor vehicle. The wildcard exemption protects up to $5,000 of a debtor’s equity in any type of property. The personal property exemption protects up to $2,000 of a debtor’s equity in any type of personal property, including jewelry, firearms, and household items. These claims are intended to help debtors maintain possession of assets that can help them rebuild their financial future after bankruptcy.
