You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

I do not know that you can find the form you are seeking in a printed version. I did find a few sites online that offer to prepare one for you for a fee. Frankly, it seems to be a simple affidavit declaring your home to be your homestead. I do not believe that it has any legal significance as your home is determined to be your homestead by filing and application with the property appraiser's office in the county in which it is located. In over 27 years of practice, I have never found the need to either prepare or advise someone to file such an affidavit.
