HOW SET APART IN PERSONAL ESTATE; FORM TO CLAIM EXEMPTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY
(§ 34-14)

Such personal estate selected by the householder under § 34-4, 34-4.1, or 34-13
shall be set apart in a writing signed by him. He shall, in the writing,
designate and describe with reasonable certainty the personal estate so selected
and set apart and each parcel or article, affixing to each his cash valuation
thereof. Such writing shall be admitted to record, to be recorded as deeds are
recorded in the county or city wherein such householder resides. However, if
such personal estate is claimed exempt in a case filed under Title 11 of the
United States Code, the official Schedule of Property Claimed as Exempt filed in
the United States Bankruptcy Court claiming such exemptions shall be sufficient
to set apart such property as exempt.

shall be sufficient, when duly admitted to record in the county or city in which
the householder resides, to exempt such described personal property from
creditor process:
