An individual debtor is able to exempt certain property from the estate. Property of the estate also does not include (1) any power that a debtor can exercise for someone else's benefit; and (2) traditional spendthrift trust interests required by state law. The estate is administered by a debtor, a debtor-in-possession or a trustee.
