Heirlooms

When considering bankruptcy, you may wonder what will happen with any heirlooms or items of sentimental value. You do not want to surrender these to the bankruptcy court for liquidation, and fortunately Utah Code has a provision for this in order to offer your personal property some protection. Section 78-23-8 of the Utah Code specifies that an individual may be entitled to an exemption of “heirlooms or other items of particular sentimental value to the individual” up to a value of $500.
