About the Program
This panel will address developing law on exemption planning and the implications of sections 522 (o) and (p) of the Bankruptcy Code. The panel will consider the extent to which converting nonexempt assets to exempt assets is permissible—including both effective strategies and potential pitfalls. The discussion will include issues surrounding retirement contributions, mortgage pay-downs, limits and lookbacks, special assets and trusts, and questions of proof and intent. The panelists will discuss recent case law impacting exemption planning and exemption disputes with a focus on the Second Circuit. Finally, the panelists will consider risks and consequences associated with ill-advised and inappropriate efforts to create exempt assets—including denials of exemptions and even threats to discharge.
