Alaska Nonwage Levy Exemption Court Forms Preparation Worksheet (CIV-515 and CIV-537)
Alaska Nonwage Levy Exemption Court Forms Preparation Worksheet
Before use: This worksheet is for a property levy described in an Alaska court's Notice of Levy and creditor's affidavit. To claim an exemption, complete and file the applicable court form. Use CIV-515 for property within that form's scope. For property subject to value limits under AS 09.38.020, use the separate CIV-537. Wage garnishment uses a different form, CIV-531. Read the notice you received and the current Judgment Debtor Booklet, CIV-511, before filing.

For a bank account, identify the benefit payment or other source, dates, and amount traceable to that source: [DETAILS]
For property subject to AS 09.38.020 value limits, list each item's description and fair value for CIV-537: [DETAILS]
Do not place full bank account numbers in this worksheet or in public attachments. CIV-515 warns that bank statements filed with it become public and instructs the filer to black out account numbers.
2. Records supporting the claim
☐ Notice of Levy and creditor's affidavit: [DATE]
☐ Bank statements or payment records showing the source of seized funds, with account numbers redacted: [DETAILS]
☐ Property descriptions, photographs, receipts, or valuation records: [DETAILS]
☐ Benefit award letters or deposit notices, if relevant: [DETAILS]
☐ Other documents explaining the claimed exemption: [DETAILS]
Short explanation to transfer to the court form: [FACTUAL BASIS FOR EACH CLAIMED ITEM]
3. Complete and file the court form
☐ Compare the property in the creditor's affidavit with the court forms' scope. CIV-515 states that it is not for AS 09.38.020 property; CIV-537 is the form for that value-limited property.
☐ Enter the court caption, case number, property, value or amount, and exemption reason on the applicable current form.
☐ Sign and date the court form and attach supporting pages as its instructions allow.
☐ File the official form with the court shown in the notice. Keep a complete copy and proof of filing.
☐ Read the actual notice and CIV-511 for the deadline. The booklet describes a 15-day filing period after property is seized; a later seizure of property listed in the same affidavit can have a different notice and timing route. Seek court guidance promptly if the date is unclear.
☐ If a hearing is set, bring the documents supporting the claimed exemption.

Financial and banking documents govern loans, security interests, account agreements, and commercial transactions between lenders, borrowers, and financial institutions. Promissory notes, guaranties, security agreements, and UCC filings have precise legal requirements, and mistakes can leave a lender unsecured or a borrower on the hook for more than they agreed to. Well-drafted finance paperwork protects both sides and keeps the deal enforceable if something goes wrong later.
