1t will be seen from the abstract
that the homestead or exemption
provision, in some form, enters into
the laws of every State in the I'm
ion.
The average seems to be about
one thousand and FIVE hundred dol.
lars realty, and five hundred dollars
personally in many States q waiv-
er, or release of homestead by
debtor is invalid.
A good idea for Georgia would be
about one thousand dollars 10 either
real estate or personal property.
