The Massachusetts Homestead Act provides "...for
protection for a homeowner from attachment,
levy on execution and sale for the payment
of his or her debts or legacies..." upon
the principal residence of person or persons
who are eligible for this protection.
The
Massachusetts State Legislature has amended
the Homestead Laws, M.G.L., Ch. 188, substantially
increasing its protection to homeowners. It
is now available to single as well as married
homeowners, with or without children, so long
as the home is the principal residence of
the owner.
The
Suffolk County Registry of Deeds covers real
estate in Boston, Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop.
