[CLBS] Washington homestead law

[Alex Caval]

I was curious about the answer to this question and forwarded it to a staff
attorney for one of the chapter 13 trustees in WA. The answer is that WA's
homestead exemption DOES apply extraterritorially. So long as a debtor
qualifies for WA exemptions then he or she may use the WA homestead
exemption on real property located in Idaho or any other state.

WA Trustees:

 

Does the WA homestead exemption statute have extra-territorial effect?
Specifically, can an Idaho resident with a house in Idaho use the WA
homestead exemption on the house?
