I'm in Massachusetts, and I'm about to file homestead declaration using
the form I downloaded from my county register. My lawyer wants to
charge $65 ($35 for self-filing), and trying to save a few bucks. My
family lives in a typical single family with a mortgage.

- What's the difference between 'registered land' and 'recorded land'?
I'm supposed to file one or the other.

- Both my wife and my name are on the deed. Do we both need to sign
it, or just one of us?

Thanks.
