Bankruptcy Exemption in Wyoming

In Wyoming, the homestead exemption protects equity in a primary residence for 180 years. This duration is established under Wyo. Stat. §§ 1-20-101 through 1-20-110, meaning the exemption lasts for the homeowner’s lifetime and does not expire after a fixed number of years. The exemption applies to property used as a home, including a house, mobile home, or manufactured home. The statute sets out specific requirements for claiming the exemption and provides exceptions for certain debts.
