Each owner who occupies a home as his or her personal residence calls such a home a "homestead." Each owner has some protection against creditors who seek to take the home to satisfy a debt owed to that creditor: $15,000 for husband and wife or $7,500 of equity. This protection is there unless the owner waives it.
Most mortgages will contain a waiver.

You would waive your right of homestead if you want to refinance your home. A bank will not loan money on property that is subject to a right of homestead. It could not foreclose if there was a default and a homestead was in effect. The boilerplate language in mortgages contains a clause that the signer is waiving rights of homestead in the property.
In 1862, Congressman Owen Lovejoy introduced the Homestead bill that would soon became a law. Lovejoy was from Illinois and was nicknamed the "Farmer Congressman".
