Your question is a little confusing but if you have no equity in your home then there probably isn’t really a reason to claim a homestead exemption. I’m not sure if that’s what you are asking? If you are worried about your property you should speak with a bankruptcy lawyer.
It depends on what chapter you file. a chapter 7 typically last 3/4 months and a Chapter 13 lasts 5 years. I highly recommend that you seek out a lawyer to help you!
