Can I keep my car and another car that is titled in my name but is in my daughter’s possession?
I live in NE and am planning to file Pro Se. I am claiming the homestead exemption but understand that I cannot use the wildcard exemption if I do this. How do I keep from having to turn over the car that my daughter has in her possession but is titled in my name. I don’t see any other provisions other than the wildcard (25-1552) exemption for keeping my daughter’s car if I file for the homestead exemption. I am stuck on this part of my bankruptcy. Also, on Schedule C, which law do I check at the top of the form?

I do not practice in NE so I can only tell you that if you can't use the wildcard exemption and there are no other exemptions available for a vehicle, then you will not be able to exempt the equity value in that vehicle. If you are filing a Chapter 7 case, the Trustee could sell the vehicle.
