It depends upon the laws of the state and the way the title to the property is worded. In most states the homestead exemption protects the primary residence from forced sale by creditors, but not from the execution of liens. If the home is held in the name of the debtor only, then it would be subject to creditor attachment. The mortgage issue is only relevant if the mortgage itself is defaulted upon.
