A Homestead Declaration is a simple document that can protect your home’s equity from attack by creditors. It prevents a forced sale of your home to satisfy your debts to most creditors (unpaid medical bills, bankruptcy, charge card debts, business/personal loans, accidents). Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 115 governs the declaration of a homestead. It declares that a homestead is limited to your primary residence. It protects your land with a dwelling on it (including a mobile home or condominium) where you reside. It does not protect any investment or rental property that you own. You are protected up to $550,000 in equity in your primary residence in Nevada.
