Bankruptcy : Homestead Exemption – Limitation – Recently Acquired Property

Where a debtor challenged a bankruptcy court’s finding that she acquired her property within the 1215-day window limiting her homestead exemption under Minnesota law, the evidence supported the finding that the debtor’s father did not intend to convey the property until he instructed his attorney to record the deed, so the judgment is affirmed.

Judgment is affirmed.
