To protect the value of your property up to one million dollars ($1,000,000) per residence, per family, you must file a document called a “Declaration of Homestead”. You can file this form at the Registry of Deeds in the county or district where your property is located, referencing the title/deed to the property.
Who can file a Homestead protection? If you own and occupy (or intend to occupy) your home as a principal residence, you can file a homestead protection.
Each state — and even each county — can make its own rules about who qualifies for a homestead exemption and how much it is. In most cases, people with “permanent and total disability”, veterans, seniors (people 65 and older) and the surviving spouses of veterans can qualify if they have limited income.
