Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Yes, you can amend the Schedules, but it should be done as soon as you realize the Trustee is moving to sell the property, and in communication with the Trustee. In fact, most of the Trustees in our District will call the Debtor's attorney in these situations and give them the opportunity to amend to the 704 series before filing a Motion to employ a realtor. They realize that if the house is at risk almost all debtors will amend their exemptions. Of course, you should also make sure your clients are prepared to turn over the personal property which can no longer be exempted under the 704 series (or be able to buy it back from the Trustee).

Subject: [cdcbaa] Changing Cal Exemption Scheme in the Middle of the Case
The real estate property in question is unusual and hard to value. I would like to assert that the value is low and there is no equity in the property. Then, I would use CCP 703 system and its 20K wildcard to protect some personal property. If my valuation is challenged and I lose, would I be able to switch to CCP 704 system and use the 75K homestead exemption to protect the equity in the real estate property?
Thanks,
