Q: I live in Florida. I have a homestead protection question.
I live in Florida. I just received a judgment from proceeding in a bankruptcy case in South Carolina. Is my homestead protected?
A:
It would require more information to accurately answer that.
You filed for bankruptcy protection in South Carolina and the bankruptcy court entered some sort of a judgment (normally bankruptcy courts only enter judgments in adversary cases, if a decision in the "main case" was rendered by the bankruptcy court it would normally be called something else)? What did this "judgment" provide?
Your question involves a Florida homestead. Are you a Florida resident, and does your property in Florida otherwise qualify for homestead protection?
