Operation of Arizona bankruptcy laws with the Code

According to 11 U.S.C. 522(l) The debtor shall file a list of property that the debtor claims as exempt under subsection (b) of this section. If the debtor does not file such a list, a dependent of the debtor may file such a list, or may claim property as exempt from property of the estate before the Arizona bankruptcy court. Unless a party in interest objects, the property claimed as exempt on such list is exempt. The trustee, creditors, an interested party, or the court upon it's own motion, may file an objection to exemptions designated within a debtor's schedule. Denial requires notice to debtors and hearing.
