in effect47-18-18. Declaration of homestead - How executed and acknowledged
In order to select a homestead the claimant shall execute and acknowledge, in the same
manner as a grant of real property is acknowledged, a declaration of homestead, and file the
declaration for record.
A claim of a homestead by a debtor who received a discharge is a declaration of
homestead.
Filing for record in the recorder's office of the county where the homestead is located a
certified copy with the legal description of the discharge constitutes notice that the property is a
homestead and exempt from judgments.
