FAQ
Homestead declaration protects you from unsecured creditors and certain other debts or attachments, but it does not shield you from first or second mortgage lenders and/or equity lenders who possess a security interest in your home.
You can file a declared homestead by taking these steps: Buy a declared homestead form from an office-supply store, or download a form from the Registrar-Recorder's website. Fill out the form. Sign the form and have it notarized.
The Massachusetts Homestead Act is a law under which a homeowner is protected by an Estate of Homestead. A homestead estate provides limited protection of the value of the home, up to $1,000,000, against unsecured creditor claims.
Liens. A “lien” is a legal claim that gives a creditor the right to take your property if you do not repay a debt . A lien can be placed on your home before and after you file a declaration of homestead, but no one can collect on the lien(s) that were placed on your home after you filed a declaration of homestead.
Most states have homestead exemptions except New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Some states have other homestead laws such as provisions that protect surviving spouses from creditors.
