Homestead Protection III

How do I file a declared homestead?

You can file a declared homestead by taking these steps:

1. Buy a declared homestead form from a stationery store, or download one online from the Registrar-Recorder’s website at: www.lavote.net/GENERAL/PDFS/HOMESTEAD_DECLARATION.pdf .
2. Fill out the form.
3. Sign the form and have it notarized.
4. Contact the Registrar-Recorder’s office where the property is located for fees and filing addresses. In Los Angeles County call (562) 462-2125.
Companies offering to help you file a declared homestead cannot charge more than $25.
