HOMESTEADS.

The homestead of a judgment debtor, consisting of a quantity of land, together with the dwelling-house thereon, and its appurtenances, not exceeding in value five thousand dollars, to be selected by husband and wife, or either or them, or other head of the family, is exempt from forced sale on execution or other process from any Court.

Homesteads are declared as follows:

The selection to be made by either the husband or wife, or both of them, or other head of a family, declaring their intention in writing to claim the same as a homestead. The same to be duly acknowledged and recorded as conveyances affecting real estate.

Declaration of intention to claim and hold a homestead may be made at any time prior to sale, on execution or other process, excepting on sale of premises on foreclosure of mortgage upon the premises executed by husband and wife; or where the judgment is for the purchase price of the property claimed as a homestead. This exemption does not extend to any mechanics, laborers or vendor's lien upon the premises.

The homestead may be abandoned by a declaration in writing, signed and acknowledged by husband and wife, and recorded in the office of the County Recorder, in the same manner as the declaration to claim the same is required to be acknowledged and recorded. On the death of husband or wife, the homestead and other property exempt from sale on execution is required to be set apart by the Court, for the benefit of the surviving husband or wife, and his or her legitimate children.

In cases where homestead property is appraised at a sum exceeding five thousand dollars, the same may be sold, and the sum realized on sale in excess of five thousand dollars and costs pass to judgment creditor.
