Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The homestead exemption can protect a certain amount of equity in a primary residence from creditors. In some states, this can mean that the home cannot be forced to be sold to pay off debts, up to a certain threshold. The amount of the exemption varies by state, but it is designed to protect homeowners and their families from being displaced from their primary residence due to debt issues.
