The 4th Circuit, in an unpublished decision, determined that a Debtor who has no equity in their home but claiming a homestead exemption, is unable to stop a sale by the Trustee when the Trustee could receive a carve out from the creditor. In this case, the Debtors home was fully encumbered by a first and an IRS lien. The IRS agreed to a carve out and the Trustee filed a motion to sell. The Debtor's objected to such sale. The Court found that the asset is still property of the estate and the Trustee had standing to sell.
