““The established rule in many jurisdictions, that a tenant in common may have a homestead, and is entitled to a homestead exemption, in land held in common (21 Cyc. 505, and cases cited), should, under our policy of liberally construing the exemption law, so as to afford protection to a debtor and his family in the possession of a home, obtain in this state..
