NOTICE OF PERSONAL
PROPERTY EXEMPTION
TO THE DEFENDANT(S):
Tennessee law provides a four thousand dollar ($4,000.00)
debtor’s equity interest personal property exemption from execution or
seizure to satisfy a judgment. If a judgment should be entered against
you in this action and you wish to claim property as exempt, you must
file a written list, under oath, of the items you wish to claim as exempt
with the clerk of the court. The list may be filed at any time and may
be changed by you thereafter as necessary; however, unless it is filed
before the judgment becomes final, it will not be effective as to any
execution or garnishment issued prior to the filing of the list. Certain
items are automatically exempt by law and do not need to be listed;
these include items of necessary wearing apparel (clothing) for yourself
and your family and trunks or other receptacles necessary to contain
such apparel, family portraits, the family Bible, and school books.
Should any of these items be seized you would have the right to
recover them. If you do not understand your exemption right or how to
exercise it, you may wish to seek the counsel of a lawyer.
