[WSBARP] Homestead Exemption

[Mike Jacobs]

A married couple's homestead exemption is limited to $125,000.  RCW 6.13.020.  However, if two people own the property as their residence and are not married nor registered domestic partners, does each one of them get to claim the $125,000 exemption? For my case, I hope not, but I cannot find any authority to support my desired result.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Jacobs
