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.

Why on Earth would you want to waive it?You can choose to use the federal exemption instead, but you don't get to pick and choose, you have to take either all state exemptions or all federal exemptions.
