You may already know chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation process so your Washington trustee has the legal right to take any personal assets with large amounts of equity to repay your creditors – which can include your car. So what are the vehicle exemption laws for chapter 7 bankruptcy in Washington State?

If you are filing independently and you want to keep your car in chapter 7 then you may exempt up to $3,250 of equity in your vehicle, and if you are filing jointly with your spouse the amount is doubled to $6,500. Washington State is one of the many states that allow you choose between the state vehicle exemptions or the federal exemptions, but they do not allow you to mix the two.
