Moore v. Krueger

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• remanding for determination of whether the judgment debtors established that they “intended to sell the[ir] house and use the proceeds to procure a new homestead” “once the [debtors] had removed themselves from the premises” (emphasis added)
• judgment debtor did not establish new homestead merely by renting and occupying apartment in another city
• “When owners remove themselves from a house with the fixed intent to sell the house, logic leads us to conclude that they did not intend to reoccupy the house as a homestead.”
• “we are required to interpret the homestead exemption statute liberally to protect the homeowner”
• “[A] vague intent to return [to the homestead that] hinged upon the contingency that [the debtor’s family] do[es] not sell the house is insufficient to establish the requisite intent to reoccupy the premises as a homestead.”
