036094P.pdf   05/10/2004  Bradley Drenttel  v.  Mary Jensen-Carter
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-6094
   District of Minnesota   
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Debtors were entitled to claim Minnesota 
   homestead exemption even though the property in question was in Arizona;
   the statute in question is silent as to its extraterritorial effect and 
   Minnesota has a strong public policy in favor of liberal construction of its 
   exemption laws; in the case of a Minnesota debtor who has just moved to 
   another state, the public policy would be defeated by interpreting the 
   statute to deny him use of the exemption.
