1. “As is well-understood, when a bankruptcy petition is filed, a bankruptcy estate is automatically created, into which flows all legal and equitable interests which Debtors have in property, as of the commencement of the case. § 541(a). The Code permits Debtors to shield certain property from administration by Trustee, through the use of exemptions. § 522(b)(1). While the Code contains a list of property which may be claimed as exempt, it also allows states to opt out of the federal exemption scheme in favor of its own. § 522(b)(3). Idaho has chosen to opt out, and thus debtors in this state may claim only those exemptions allowable under Idaho law, as well as those listed in § 522(b)(3). Idaho Code § 11-609 ; 11 U.S.C. § 522 (b)(3).”
