[WSBARP] homestead and unsecured debt

[Josh Grant]

This is a collection case but it has a real property question I will present here.

Debtor client,  has an unsecured debt about $4000.  Residence is worth about $100,000.  He has a prior Mortgage $25,000.

I would like to tell creditor “Sorry, but my man has a $250,000 homestead right here so go take a jump in the lake)  (It is 81 degrees outside today).  If you get a judgment you still won’t be able to do anything, here is a copy of his homestead declaration (which I will now prepare and record).

Any thoughts?

Josh
