Homestead Exemptions

Homestead Exemptions are legal provisions that protect homeowners from the forced sale of their primary residence to satisfy creditors or debt obligations, up to a certain value or exemption limit established by law. Homestead exemptions vary by jurisdiction and may provide homeowners with protection against creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure actions, or other legal actions seeking to seize or liquidate their homes. Homestead exemptions are intended to promote homeownership, stability, and financial security for individuals and families.
