Alabama Bankruptcy Law

This page on Alabama bankruptcy law focuses specifically on exemptions. Exemptions are determined by state law, and therefore they vary (sometimes considerably) from state to state.


There are also federal exemptions pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Some states give debtors an option to choose between either state or federal exemptions.

In Alabama, only state exemptions are allowed.
