Got clarification: if the writ of execution created the lien, then its
outside the 90 day preference period. Date of transfer was inside.

Does it make a difference if the funds were already transferred to the
creditor and not on hand with the Sheriff? Inside 90 days still.

Dear Holly,
If the creditor has already taken the money, then you should use 522(g) and (h) to exempt the money and avoid the preference. On February 7, 2013 I posted
a response to a similar question you posed, and my post had a sample motion you can use if you get a judge who doesnt insist on an adversary proceeding. Take a look at it.
All the best,

You may have misunderstood the Trustee. I am fairly certain he's not
telling you he can't do it, he's telling you he won't do it. This is why
522(h) allows the Debtor to file the motion.

Trustee is telling me that trustee cannot avoid lien, even though it's
within the 90 day preference period because it is an "execution lien".

It's a preferential transfer issue. See section 547, 546 for limitations on avoiding powers and 522 (g) and (h).

The trustee can't avoid an execution lien after the 90 day preference period has expired.
The debtor can avoid the fixing of a lien on exempt property under 522(f). Law Office of Peter M. Lively * Personal Financial Law Center I

It's my understanding that when a creditor obtains a judgment and then
levies on cash in the debtor's bank account or cash held by a third party
that belongs to the debtor that the debtor can file a motion to avoid the
lien under 522(f) along with a motion for turnover (so long as a portion of
the funds can be exempted) and recover the exempt funds. Am I wrong?
Is the chapter 7 trustee able to recover such funds if an "execution lien"
was created? In this case we'd like the trustee to get the money back but
trustee says writ of execution creates a lien and trustee can do nothing to
