Arizona protects some of what a household owns from creditors and not all of it. Knowing roughly which is which is the honest starting point for deciding whether you need excess liability.
Arizona has exemptions protecting certain assets. They are limited, specific, and not a substitute for cover.
Three things about what is actually at risk.
Arizona law exempts certain property from creditors, including an amount of equity in a primary residence and certain retirement accounts. Those exemptions are specific, they are capped, and they do not cover everything. How they apply to a particular household is a question for an attorney rather than an insurance agent, and we will say so plainly.
A portion of earnings can be garnished to satisfy a judgment, and that continues until it is paid. For a working household that is frequently the most significant exposure, and exemptions protecting a home do nothing about it.
Exemptions matter only after a judgment has been entered and somebody is collecting. Liability cover pays the claim and funds the defense so the question never arises. That is a better outcome than arguing about what is protected.
An honest assessment rather than a sale.
It sets the realistic figure.
Wages are reachable and exemptions do not help.
For many households here, it is.
