[D. Blair Clark]

So of the states in our region, it's just Oregon that holds their statute
can be used out of state, then?

The Washington Supreme Court held last April that Washington's homestead
exemption does not apply to real property outside Washington.  The citation
is In re Wieber, 182 Wn.2d 919 (2015).  Here is a link to the opinion:

A few years ago, I edited the Commercial & Bankruptcy Bar Newsletter.  The
December issue is attached and the lead article deals squarely with your
question.  The answer, by the way, is no.

Does anybody know is Washington's homestead exemption can be used
extraterritorially? Debtor moved within past year from Washington to Idaho
and has Idaho condo.  Can he use Washington's homestead exemption to protect
it from trustee's meaty paws?
