Doubling Definition
A married couple's right to double the amount of certain property exemptions when filing for bankruptcy together. For example, if a state allows doubling and provides an exemption for equity in a motor vehicle up to $4,000, a married couple filing for bankruptcy together could exempt up to $8,000 in equity.
