Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Declared Homestead
What are the advantages of a declared homestead with regard to creditors and taxes? We are trying to prepare for the future. We have established a living trust. We own our home and 4 acres, except for a small equity loan.

Re: Declared Homestead
A declared homestead is of little usefulness for someone whose finances are in order, well insured and not engaged in risky ventures.
