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. |

See http://www.lawrencedeeds.com/homestead.asp, which is the third match that shows up if you Google for "Massachusetts recorded land". You ought to consider spending two minutes to do a Web search before posting a message to the entire world. - Both my wife and my name are on the deed. Do we both need to sign it, or just one of us? Just one of you. It covers the whole family. I found the answer to this question on the fifth match when I Googled for "Massachusetts homestead declaration". |

Read these links. http://www.lowelldeeds.com/home.htm I've read it, but it still doesn't answer my 1st question. From page one of the PDF that contains the form. "3. Fill in the correct "Title Reference." For those who own recorded land (most homeowners) that is the book and page number of the deed by which you became the owner of the property. These numbers are usually pritnted on your copy of your deed. You may also look them up on our website or find them on your property tax bill. If you own "registered land" you should write your certificate of title number on the "Other" space." |

Don't assume I didn't do any search. I searched for 'registered land'
vs. 'recorded land' searching for clarafication. I had read the FAQ posted by 'someone', and had read the part about husband/wife, but then got confused by joint ownership with a brother, hence the question for clarification in my original post. Your reply 'covers the whole family' doesn't answer the joint ownership. It refers to what happens when the signer dies. The rest of the family is covered. You answered the wrong question that wasn't asked. You should spend two minutes to read the question. |
