FAQ

The Homestead Deed must be in proper legal form and should be prepared by a Virginia licensed attorney. Once the Homestead Deed is filed with the Circuit Court for the city or county where the debtor lives, and other needed steps are taken, the property generally is protected from creditors.

You may claim your exemptions from garnishment by filing an affidavit with the court describing the exemption and your claim to it. Your affidavit also must be sent to the judgment creditor and any attorney for the judgment creditor.

General Information. A Homestead Deed prevents creditors from attaching/levying one's personal property and equity in real estate. Normally, such an instrument is filed when an individual is going into bankruptcy or is anticipating a judgment against him/her.

Virginia homestead laws allow residents to designate up to $5,000 worth of real estate (including mobile homes) as a homestead, plus $500 for each dependent. If a resident is sixty-five years of age or older, or a married couples files for an exemption together, up to $10,000 may be exempted under the homestead laws.
