Whether or not a homestead declaration has been recorded:
(a) Nothing in this article affects the right of levy pursuant to a writ of execution.
(b) Any levy pursuant to a writ of execution on a dwelling (as defined in Section 704.710) and the sale pursuant thereto shall be made in compliance with Article 4 (commencing with Section 704.710) and the judgment debtor and the judgment creditor shall have all the rights and benefits provided by that article.
Notes

Recording a declaration does not itself affect the right to levy under a writ of execution.
