HOMESTEADS
Tarlesson v. Broadway Foreclosure Investments (PDF)
A judgment debtor is entitled to a homestead exemption where she continuously resided in property, even though at one point she conveyed title to her cousin in order to obtain financing and the cousin subsequently conveyed title back to the debtor. The amount of the exemption was $150,000 (later statutorily changed to $175,000) based on debtor's declaration that she was over 55 years old and earned less than $15,000 per year, because there was no conflicting evidence in the record.
Cal.App. 1st Dist. (A125445) 5/17/10
