The defendant may list whatever real or personal property allowed under the laws of his or her resident state that is considered exempt. Usually the exemptions that can be used by the debtor defendant to protect property from a judgment creditor will be the same ones that allowed in bankruptcy with perhaps the addition exemption allowed under federal non bankruptcy laws. The matter can become rather complicated and is best handled by an attorney or a legal consultant that is versant in the state exemption laws. Generally the most important would be the homestead exemption, for those judgment debtors who own real estate.

Can creditors take your home if you claim bankruptcy?

Perhaps. It will depend entirely on the debts you owe. Creditors other than those who hold liens against the property cannot seize a primary residence and request a forced sale when it is protected by the homestead exemption. The above does not apply to first mortage lien holders, but it does apply to other creditors who may have a lien against the property as well as those who have not filed judgment liens. If the equity in the property exceeds the exemption amount it is possible for a judgment creditor to file a judgment writ as a forced sale to recover the debt owed. It is rare that a judgment creditor will take such action as it is time consuming and costly for all parties. In addition, there are a sine U.S. states that do not allow the forced sale of a primary residence by a judgment creditor(s), either by direct statute or laws based upon how the property is titled.
