Generally, a waiver is a clause in a mortgage whereby you waive your right to your homestead protection as to that mortgage. A borrower should request that language be added to make it clear the protection is being waived as to only that mortgage.
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.
