Product Description
Product Description
The Massachusetts Homestead Statute was revised on March 16, 2011, but practical questions still haunt. Join our expert panelists in a discussion of how these revisions have been interpreted by conveyancers, title insurance underwriters, and the court. This new one-hour program also highlights the unintended consequences of unnecessary homestead release language, the types of homestead interests that can create traps for the unwary, the effect of declaring homesteads for multi-level trusts, the abandonment of homestead rights, and recent court rulings.
