1. “The homestead continues the homestead as long as it is owned, occupied, and used as such. It ceases to be the homestead only when it is abandoned as such. When the use of the homestead has been abandoned, and the owners are not in actual possession, abandonment then may become a question of intent. But as against actual ownership, use, and possession, when once the property has been designated as a homestead, its abandonment as such cannot be shown by the confessed intent of the owners, no matter how strong the proof of intent may be, to abandon and acquire a new one while such ownership, use, and occupancy continue.”
