If the assignor reserves any of his property as exempt, the court shall appoint
three (3) competent and disinterested housekeepers, who, after being first duly
sworn, shall set apart to the debtor the property exempt, and within ten (10)
days thereafter the assignee shall file a report thereon. Exceptions may be filed
to the report by any person in interest but not later than sixty (60) days after the
report has been filed. The court shall hear and dispose of any exceptions and if
none are filed it shall confirm the report.
If land is exempt, an order shall be entered directing the assignee to employ, if
necessary, a competent surveyor to lay off by metes and bounds the
homestead exemption as set apart by the appraisers. The court may, with the
consent of the assignor, and if it appears best for the interest of the creditors,
or if the land is not divisible without impairing its value, order the property sold
and the value of the homestead, not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000),
paid to the assignor.
