Florida Homestead Declaration - Single
This Florida Declaration of Homestead is designed for a single individual and protects a certain amount of value in your principal residence from being taken to satisfy a creditor’s judgment. If a creditor sues you in court and you lose, the creditor will obtain a judgment for the amount owed. If you fail to pay this judgment, the creditor can then collect by garnishing your wages or, in certain instances, having your home sold to satisfy the judgment. A Declaration of Homestead protects a certain amount of equity in your home from being taken in order to satisfy a creditor’s judgment.
In Florida, a homestead exemption provides no limit to the dollar value of a property that can be protected from creditors but limits the exemption to a certain amount of land. Homestead exemptions are generally automatic but Florida law provides three instances when property can be claimed as a homestead: Before a judgment is filed and a lien levied, after a judgment is filed and before a levy is made and after a levy has been filed on the property. Post-lien homestead filings are possible but involve tight deadlines and the potential for error. It is advisable to claim a homestead exemption prior to the occurrence of a dispute to ensure the process runs smoothly. Homestead exemptions do not apply in Florida against liens and judgment for taxes or obligations for purchase of real property.

- Parties: Identifies the party to the Homestead Declaration;
