    Arizona and doubling exemptions

    When I initially met with the actual attorney, he said that if you are filing joint, your car exemptions double (in this case $5k per person so $10k). He said you could either use the 2 exemptions on 2 different cars or double them for a single car. So, we are at the point where we have 1 car that's valued at about the $10k mark. He said that it should be safe.

    However, we now talk with the paralegal. He said that it doesn't work that way. You can only use 1 single $5k exemption on the 1 vehicle. So, the trustee would have the right to force us to sell the vehicle... then, we'd just get the $5k in cash (for the exemption).

    Who's right? I'm getting a little peeved about the paralegal saying different things than what his attorney boss initially told us (on a few issues now). Is it just that paralegals are not as knowledgeable?

    Thanks!
