Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

Homestead Act (Nevada)

I refinanced my home last year (2007) but didn't update my Homestead application. I am married but the Mortgage loan is in my name only because my wife wouldn't qualify for a reasonable rate of interest due to her bad credit scores. Can I qualify for a new Homestead application as a single person or does my wife have to be listed as well?

You don't need to change your homestead unless you want to. You can do a new one to add your wife but if she was sued, I think that the homestead would prevent the sale of your house.
