2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-14. How set apart in personal estate; form to claim exemption of personal property

Such personal estate selected by the householder under § 34-4, 34-4.1, or 34-13 shall be set apart in a writing signed by him. He shall, in the writing, designate and describe with reasonable certainty the personal estate so selected and set apart and each parcel or article, affixing to each his cash valuation thereof. Such writing shall be admitted to record, to be recorded as deeds are recorded in the county or city wherein such householder resides. However, if such personal estate is claimed exempt in a case filed under Title 11 of the United States Code, the official Schedule of Property Claimed as Exempt filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court claiming such exemptions shall be sufficient to set apart such property as exempt.The following form, or one which is substantially similar, shall be used and shall be sufficient, when duly admitted to record in the county or city in which the householder resides, to exempt such described personal property from creditor process:HOMESTEAD DEED FOR PERSONAL PROPERTYName of Householder __________________Is the householder a disabled veteran entitled to claim the additional exemption under § 34-4.1? ________________Address of Householder __________________Name(s) and age(s) of dependent(s) __________________County/city in which householder resides ____________________________________________________________Description of property claimed as exempt and its value __________________  __________________ Number of homestead deeds that have been filed by the Householder __________________ Exemption amount previously claimed on prior homestead deeds __________________ List the jurisdictions where previous homestead deeds were filed __________________ __________________ (Signature of Householder) __________________ [ACKNOWLEDGMENT]Such writing or deed shall not be required to secure any exemption under this Code except those exemptions created by §§ 34-4, 34-4.1 and 34-13.Code 1919, § 6540; 1990, c. 942; 1993, c. 150; 2010, c. 186; 2020, c. 328.
VA Code § 34-17 (2021)
2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-17. When exemption may be set apart; garnished wages

A. The real or personal estate that a householder is entitled to hold as exempt may be set apart at any time before it is subjected by sale under creditor process or by a trustee in bankruptcy, or, if such creditor process does not require sale of the property, before it is turned over to the creditor.B. A claim of homestead exemption to protect garnished wages may be filed by the debtor after the garnishment summons is served on the employer but prior to or upon the return date of the garnishment summons and shall be considered by the garnishing court.Code 1919, § 6543; 1944, p. 489; 1974, c. 272; 1981, c. 580; 1985, c. 521; 1990, c. 942; 2003, c. 1000; 2005, c. 367; 2020, c. 328.

2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-18. Rents and profits exempt; increase in value of estate set apart

The rents and profits of the property set apart shall be exempt in the same manner as the corpus of such property and if the whole real and personal estate set apart be not of greater value than the amount the householder is entitled to exempt at the time it is so set apart, the exemption thereof shall not be affected by any increase in its value afterwards, unless such increase consists of permanent improvements placed upon real estate set apart by means derived from some source other than exempt property.Code 1919, § 6544; 1975, c. 466; 1977, c. 496; 1990, c. 942.
VA Code § 34-19 (2021)
2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-19. How excess in value set apart subjected to debts

Any creditor, against whom an exemption is claimed, may file a bill in equity, alleging that the value of the estate at the time it was set apart was more than the amount the householder is entitled to exempt or, that by reason of permanent improvements made on the real estate after it was set apart by means derived from some source other than exempt property, the whole estate set apart is of greater value than the amount the householder is entitled to exempt. If the court is satisfied from the proofs in the cause that the allegations of the bill are true, it shall make such decree or order as may be necessary to subject the estate set apart, so far as it exceeds the amount the householder is entitled to exempt, to the payment of the debt or demand of such creditor.Code 1919, § 6545; 1975, c. 466; 1977, c. 496; 1990, c. 942.

In addition to the requirements of such sections, the writing shall state from what source the estate was derived and with what means acquired. When such estate is invested or set apart under an order of court, a copy of the order and of any report of a commissioner or other officer making the investment thereunder, if confirmed, and a copy of the order of confirmation, duly certified by the clerk of the court, shall be recorded in the deed book of the county or city wherein the writing, if the estate had been set apart by a writing, is required to be recorded.Code 1919, § 6546.
VA Code § 34-21 (2021)
2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-21. When householder's right to exemption is exhausted

But such waiver shall not extend to or affect the exemption of the property or estate exempt under §§ 34-26, 34-27 and 34-29. The following or equivalent words shall be sufficient to operate as the waiver hereinbefore provided for: "I (or we) waive the benefit of my (or our) exemption as to this obligation." If a debt which is superior to the homestead, or as to which the homestead is waived, be paid off by a surety therein, the principal shall not be allowed to claim the homestead as against such surety.Code 1919, § 6548.

2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-23. How claim enforced when exemption waived, etc.

In any proceeding for the enforcement of a claim, which by reason of the waiver aforesaid or otherwise, is paramount to the exemption, if there be in the county or city wherein the proceeding is estate of the debtor other than that which has been set apart as aforesaid, such other estate shall be subjected and exhausted before the estate so set apart is resorted to. If, however, the claim is secured by mortgage, deed of trust or other specific lien on the estate set apart, nothing in this section contained shall prevent the enforcement of the security in the first instance and before resorting to other estate of the debtor.Code 1919, § 6549; 1974, c. 272; 1981, c. 580.
VA Code § 34-24 (2021)
2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-24. When the exemption ceases; lien of judgment or decree against householder

When any person, entitled as a householder to the exemption provided for in § 34-4, ceases to be a householder or when any person removes from this Commonwealth, his right to claim or hold any estate as exempt under the provisions of this chapter, shall cease; but the lien of a judgment, or decree for money, rendered against a householder, and which is not paramount to the exemption provided for in this chapter, shall, as to the real estate held as exempt by him, attach to such only of that estate as he may be possessed of or entitled to at the time the exemption thereof ceases, as aforesaid, and until that time the lien shall not be enforced. Such judgments shall attach in the order of their priority, respectively, subject to the provisions of Article 2 (§ 64.2-309 et seq.) of Chapter 2 of Title 64.2.Code 1919, § 6550; 1972, c. 825; 1974, c. 272; 1981, c. 580.
VA Code § 34-25 (2021)
2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 2 - Homestead Exemption of Householder|§ 34-25. When homestead waived judgments and executions to so state

Whenever a judgment or decree is rendered on an instrument waiving the homestead or upon a demand against which the homestead cannot be claimed the court shall include in its judgment or decree words to the following effect, as the case may be: "Upon an instrument waiving the homestead," or "upon a claim against which the homestead cannot be demanded." This statement shall be endorsed upon the executions issued upon such judgments or decrees. In any action or suit when it is not apparent from the face of the pleadings that the demand is not subject to the homestead exemption the plaintiff shall not have the benefit of the foregoing provision of this section unless in his declaration he alleges that his demand is not subject to such homestead exemption. But no presumption of nonwaiver or that the judgment or decree was rendered upon a demand against which homestead could be claimed is to be drawn from the silence of any judgment, execution or decree on the matters provided for by this section.Code 1919, § 6551.
VA Code § 34-27 (2021)
2021 Code of Virginia|Title 34 - Homestead and Other Exemptions|Chapter 3 - Other Articles Exempt|§ 34-27. Additional articles exempted to householder engaged in agriculture

No person shall institute or permit to be instituted proceedings in his own name or in the name of any other person or shall assign or transfer, either for or without value, any claim for debt or liability of any kind held by him against a resident of the Commonwealth who is a laboring person and a householder for the purpose of having payment of the same or any part thereof enforced out of the wages exempted by § 34-29 by proceedings in attachment or garnishment in courts or before magistrates in any other state than the Commonwealth, or to send out of the Commonwealth by assignment, transfer or in any other manner whatsoever, either for or without value, any claim or debt against any resident thereof for the purpose or with the intent of depriving such person of the right to have his wages exempt from distress, levy or garnishment according to the provisions of § 34-29.
