Yes, with a timing rule. Arizona exempts funds in qualified 529 college savings plans under A.R.S. § 33-1126, but contributions made within two years before filing bankruptcy are subject to a lookback and may not be protected.
This prevents debtors from stuffing money into a child's college account on the eve of bankruptcy. Long-standing, regular contributions are safe.
If you have made large recent deposits into a 529 plan, discuss the timing with a bankruptcy attorney before filing — waiting or restructuring the filing date can preserve the full exemption.
This page is general legal information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Exemption figures were verified against official sources in August 2026; inflation-adjusted amounts (including Arizona's Prop 209 figures and county median homestead values) are computed estimates that change annually and should be confirmed by an attorney for your petition date.
