Manty v. Johnson

The Trustee appealed from the bankruptcy court's holding that a property tax refund was exempt under Minn. Stat. 550.37, subd. 14, as "government assistance based on need." The property tax refund at issue is authorized by the State of Minnesota Property Tax Refund Act, Minn. Stat. 290A.01-290A.27. The bankruptcy appellate panel concluded that the property tax refund at issue here was not government assistance based on need and was therefore not exempt under section 550.37, subd. 14. Accordingly, the panel reversed the bankruptcy court's order. View "Manty v. Johnson" on Justia Law
