Whether a homestead exemption to which a debtor is entitled on the date of bankruptcy filing can be lost if the debtor sells the homestead during the bankruptcy proceedings and does not reinvest the proceeds
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED This Court has long held that “the date when [a bankruptcy] petition is filed” is the “point of time” at which “the status and rights of the bankrupt ... are fixed.” White v. Stump, 266 U.S. 310, 313 (1924). The question presented is whether a homestead exemption to which a debtor is entitled on the date he files for bankruptcy can vanish if the debtor sells his homestead during the pendency of bankruptcy proceedings and does not reinvest the proceeds in another homestead.
