A redemption as it applies to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation case, is a tangible piece of personal property belonging to the debtor thats use is intended for personal, family or household purposes. A redemption is encumbered by a lien. To qualify as a redemption, the property, in general terms, much either have been abandoned by the trustee under Bankruptcy Code, Section 554 or it must be exempt under Bankruptcy Code Section 522.
