Under the laws of all states in this country if there has been a levy upon assets owned by a judgment debtor there is a set time period for the judgment debtor to serve and file a claim of exemption with respect to the property levied upon with the court clerk's office. A claim of exemption typically is a pre-printed form to be filled out by the judgment debtor. If timely done, the court clerk then sets a hearing date for the judge to make a hearing on the disputed matter.
If the item is exempt from levy, then the judgment debtor gets the item back.
