Arizona Homestead Exemption Explained
Summary
In Arizona, the homestead exemption protects up to $250,000 of equity in a primary residence from creditors. If your fathers home equity exceeds this amount, creditors might target the excess equity, not the entire home. For a $14,000 debt, the property is likely not in danger of being seized. Consulting a local attorney is advisable for personalized advice. Additionally, you can turn over firearms to local law enforcement for safekeeping.Full Conversation
In Arizona, my father owes $*,* in credit debt that a court found he was liable for. Can they seize his $*,* home, or does the Arizona homestead exemption protect the property?
Hey Jess! In Arizona, the homestead exemption protects up to $*,* of equity in a primary residence from creditors. If your father has equity beyond this amount, creditors might be able to claim the excess. It would be wise to consult a local attorney for specific advice. Would you like help finding one?
So that means if he owes greater than $*,*, then they can seize the property?

If your father's home equity exceeds $*,*, creditors might target the excess equity, not the entire home. Consulting a local attorney for specific guidance would be beneficial.

So, since he owes $*,*, is the property in danger of being seized?
