Best Answer

A homestead exemption can be filed for a mobile home. Check with your town clerk for the procedure.

Residential dwellings such as houses, condos, mobile homes are not considered personal property.Examples of personal property are: Household goods, electronics, clothing, jewelry, stocks, bonds, bank accounts and similar assets/items.

Some US states have exemptions for such, consult the bankruptcy laws concerning your state of residence to find out what may apply. If the state does not have a set of exemptions then the federal bankruptcy exemptions apply during BK or a creditor judgment action.

Please note: Allowable exemptions are based upon the actual ownership of the real or personal property in question. Joint ownership of any kind can change the judgment status of all property, especially when it relates to a married couple.
