A homestead law helps to protect you from losing your home to creditors. If you are sued for money in court and lose, the person who sued you will receive a judgment from the court. If you do not pay the judgment, they can then try to collect the judgment by garnishing your wages, having your automobile sold or by having you home sold. The homestead law protects a certain amount of your equity in your home from being taken to pay the judgment.
