How do you determine the homestead exemption in bankruptcy?
Question Details:
I know that in my state, I have a 20k (for couples) homestead exemption. Home values are subjective in today's market but what if the amount of equity is about 30-3, is the sale of the home fees factored in, like real estate commission, legal fees, etc.?

Exemption laws are based on the state where you resided for the 2 years prior to filing your bankruptcy case or, if you lived in more than 1 state during that period, in the state where you resided for the greater part of the 180 days prior to that 2 year period.
