    ALASKA
    In general, a debtor may claim exemption of his homestead and certain personal property from attachment or execution of a judgment, or in a bankruptcy proceeding. The extent of property which may be exempt is governed under the Alaska Exemptions Act (Title 9, Chapter 38). Under the Alaska Exemptions Act, certain personal property may be exempt without limitation in value (Section 09.38.015) and others may be exempt up to a limited value (Section 09.38.020).

    An individual is entitled to exemption as a homestead of the individual's interest in property in the State of Alaska used as the principal residence of the individual or the dependents of the individual, but the value of the homestead exemption may not exceed $64,800. (Section 09.38.010(a).) If property owned by the entirety or in common is used by one or more individual owners or their dependents as their principal residence, each owner is entitled to a homestead exemption of that owner's interest in the property as provided above but the aggregate value of multiple homestead exemptions allowable with respect to a single living unit may not exceed $64,800. (Section 09.38.010(b).)
