Tennessee law provides a four thousand dollar ($4000) personal property and five thousand dollar ($5000) homestead exemption from execution or seizure to satisfy a judgment.

The list may be filed at any time and may be changed by you thereafter as necessary; however, unless it is filed before the judgment becomes final, it will not be effective as to any execution or garnishment issued prior to the filing of the list.

Should any of these items be seized you would have the right to recover them. If you do not understand your exemption right of how to execute it, you may wish to seek the counsel of a lawyer.
