If my home has a declaration of homestead on title does this protect my home from liens?
A declaration of homestead can offer some protection against certain types of liens, particularly those related to unsecured debts, by designating your home as your primary residence and protecting it from forced sale to satisfy those debts. However, it generally does not protect against all liens, such as mortgage liens, tax liens, or mechanics' liens. It's important to understand the specific laws in your state, as protections can vary significantly. Consulting a legal expert can provide clarity on your situation.

There are no laws requiring a person to take out title insurance on their property. However, it's wise to, at the very least, have a Report on Title (Search only) done on the property before you purchase. This is not title insurance, but a compliation of all searches for existing deeds, mortgages, liens, status of municipal liens, easements, restrictions, etc. After obtaining the Report on Title, you can decide if you are comfortable with the property status to proceed with or without getting an Owner's Policy to protect you against the history of the property as to all of the above.
