Subject: [CLBS] float home/homestead

Listmates:
Potential chapter 7 client owns a "float home".  It is not a boat, it's a
house that floats and it is relatively permanently moored at a marina.  It
is hooked up to sewer, water, electricity, phone, etc.  Client doesn't
currently live in the float home and has it rented out.  He does intend to
live there again, and if it were real property I'd know just how to protect
it, with a recorded homestead declaration.  But he doesn't own the real
property and I don't think the Kootenai County Recorder would record a
homestead declaration without a legal description.  
 
1.    How do I protect this asset as his homestead without him having to
evict his tenants and move back in?
2.    If I can do that, is the Trustee entitled to the rent he's collecting?
If so, for how long?
