The issue you may have in exempting the equity realized from the sale is that the homestead is for home you "live in". Not just own... so even though it's in your name, if you don't live there, you can't claim the homestead exemption. If you reside somewhere other than that house, technically the homestead does not apply per the Bankruptcy Code.
