Recovering levied/seized funds being held by LA County Sheriff's Dept
Unless you convince the creditor to notify the sheriff to release the funds to the debtor you will need to file a motion for turnover order or more likely an adversary complaint to recover the involuntary preferential transfer assuming it was at least $600. You have no standing to do this until the objection period to claimed exemptions expires 30 days after the conclusion of the meeting of creditors.

Prior to filing the BK petition, the client's bank account was levied by LA County's Sheriff's and the client filed an exemption and has a hearing date because the creditor filed a opposition to the exemption. The funds are currently held by LA County's Sheriff's. Is there anyway LA County's Sheriff's will return the money to the client prior to discharge on the matter? If not, when will the funds be transferred back to the client? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
