Join us for an insightful discussion on the complexities and nuances of the homestead
exemption in consumer bankruptcy cases. Our expert panel will explore key legal
strategies, recent case law developments, and practical tips for effectively leveraging
the homestead exemption to protect our clients' most important asset. Specifically, we
will address the issues concerning 11 U.S.C. ' 522(m), (o), (p), and (q), the objective
and subjective factors to prove the validity of the debtor’s homestead exemption,
problems with renting out the homestead or a portion thereof (ABNB, VRBO, ADU,
duplex, outbuilding, etc.), and pushing back on trustee carve-out issues when a debtor
technically has no equity in the homestead property. So, whether you are dealing with
high-value properties, intricate state-specific rules, or the evolving legal landscape, this
session will provide valuable insights and actionable takeaways for bankruptcy
attorneys. Do not miss this opportunity to enhance your practice and stay ahead of the
curve in homestead exemption matters.
