This would seem to be a no brainer but I am trying to find a case that actually says that 704.110(b) applies to IRAs or some other CA statute that specifically does apply to IRAs in bankruptcy.
I found
In re Innis (1986) which held that an IRA corpus was not exempt from the property of the estate under CCP § 703.140(b)(10)(E)
and
In re Vigghiany (1987) that held an IRA account corpus was exempt from property of the estate under CCP § 704.115 to the extent it was necessary to provide for the support of the judgment debtor upon retirement,
both of those cases were decidedly not helpful. I know the Supreme Court held in Rousey v. Jacoway that IRA's are entitled to Federal exemptions but I wasn't sure if that applies in CA since CA opted out of the Federal exemptions.
Thank you, Shawn
