Todd Shumway, Appellant v. Betty Black Living Trust, Dale Lockwood and Joan Shumway, Appellees

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Shumway's claim to an Alaska homestead exemption. It held that the superior court did not clearly err in finding that Shumway was not an Alaska resident when the property was levied upon, because his extended incarceration, Arizona ties, and circumstances surrounding his absence outweighed his stated intent to return. The court also limited review to the homestead issue because Shumway did not timely appeal the underlying judgment.
