Correct answer: $18,800 per individual ($37,600 for married couples filing jointly)

Alabama's homestead exemption in bankruptcy protects $18,800 in home equity for an individual and $37,600 for married couples filing jointly. This is relatively LOW compared to states like Texas or Florida which offer unlimited homestead protection. For MLOs, this matters: Alabama borrowers in financial distress have limited equity protection, which can affect their willingness to take on mortgage debt and influences foreclosure recovery calculations.
