do I use KBB to get the values of the vehicles? use private party or??

also, 2 of our vehicles are in poor condition, it doesnt give a value for that. What do I put/print? Thanks

Each local court decides which official source they will use to value cars. You'll have to find out which source your local court's trustees use. If you are filing with a lawyer, your lawyer will know.

Which condition value estimate is used is also local court-dependent. There's no consistency across the country.

thanks, I'll have to ask, she just has it listed to print out a copy of values on vehicles.

If your vehicles are in very poor shape, you might consider hiring an independent appraiser to get the value of your vehicle. OR get an estimate for 'repair' to bring your vehicle to good condition. Check with your attorney.

Of course, if the KBB values are less than your exemptions you don't have to do any of this since the vehicle is exempted.

all cars are in hubbys name. So it will be close to get them exempted. She said to put one in my name to get the extra exemption. I thought that wasnt allowed but she says it is from spouse to spouse.
