California law at CCP § 703.080 provides for the "tracing" of exempt funds, i.e., an exemption for an asset follows the funds deriving from the asset so long as they can be uniquely identified as having come from the exempt asset. The statute provides in toto:
Notice that the statute is limited to "fund". Once exempt, traced moneys are converted into something other than a fund or another exempt asset, the exemption is forever lost. Example: Mary receives a $50,000 distribution from her California Private Retirement Plan and places it into a bank account which holds only and exclusively the moneys which she received from the Plan; the account and the $50,000 are exempt from creditors. Mary later uses the $50,000 to purchase a luxury automobile with the funds; the exemption under the tracing statute is lost, and Mary will receive only the minimal $4,800 exemption against the value of the automobile when it is levied and sold at a Sheriff's sale, i.e., Mary will get a check from the Sheriff for $4,800 and the balance (less the costs of the auction) will go to Mary's creditors.
The use of the tracing statute of CCP § 703.080 as applied to transfers involving California Private Retirement Plans, is addressed in the following court opinions:
In re Friedman, 220 B.R. 670 (9th Cir. B.A.P., 1998). McMullen v. Haycock, 147 Cal.App.4th 753, 54 Cal.Rptr. 3d 660 (2007). Salameh v. Tarsadia Hotel, 2015 WL 6028927 (S.D.Cal., 2015).
