In some states, the homestead exemption is automatic -- that is, if you live in your house, then the homestead law applies automatically. In other states, you must file a "Homestead Declaration" in order to put potential creditors on notice that the house is your primary residence. If you file the Homestead Declaration, then you are entitled to the protections of the homestead law. If you don't file the Homestead Declaration, then you're not.
