They both get a homestead. See CCP 704.820(a).
(from Dennis, I called and kidded Wes, and asked if I could change the sentence to "They each get a homestead." Wes laughed, but we both agree each gets a full homestead)

homestead exemption for unmarried couple

I"m having a brain fade late in the day here.
If a couple isn't married, but both own a piece of real property, and each need to file separate BKs:
Do they EACH get a $50,000 homestead exemption or is it one per house?
Just trying to figure out how to calculate the equity in each case to the estate.
Thanks...
