Homestead Recording Service Helps Protect Your Home.


DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 1999--

We think we are the Untouchables untouchables: see Harijans.

Untouchables

lowest caste in India; social outcasts. [Ind. Culture: Brewer Dictionary, 1118]

We work good jobs, pay our taxes...we've planned our lives.

We never ponder Ponder - A non-strict polymorphic, functional language by Jon Fairbairn <jf@cl.cam.ac.uk>.

Ponder's type system is unusual. It is more powerful than the Hindley-Milner type system used by ML and Miranda and extended by Haskell.
 too deeply that in a single harsh moment our lives could be changed forever: physically, emotionally and financially.

We assume too much.

Car crash.

Death of a loved one.

Divorce.

Heart attack.

Job loss.

Bankruptcy.

We just don't think about these things "These Things" is an EP by She Wants Revenge, released in 2005 by Perfect Kiss, a subsidiary of Geffen Records. Music Video

Maybe we should.

No Place Like Home

The national news has us immune to the idea that there are any small tragedies. Bombings, plane crashes, war...daily we are assaulted with these grim, "larger-than-life" realities.

It is only during holidays or the "fluff" section of the news that we hear about the poor family whose Christmas tree Christmas tree

 (and the wonderful community relief effort being brought about on their behalf).

We don't hear too much about the man who is out of work from a heart attack losing his home.

Nobody staged a rally in his front yard.

We don't usually see women and children being tossed out onto the streets. We don't think too much about the retired couple with nowhere to go.

We don't even realize that WE could be next.

What's worse, most of us don't have a clue as how to protect ourselves.

Homestead Homestead.

1 City (1990 pop. 26,866), Dade co., SE Fla.; inc. 1913. A large Miami suburb with a growing Hispanic population, Homestead is a trade center for the redland district, known for its many varieties of citrus and other fruits and vegetables.
 Can Protect Your Home

Under the designation homestead laws homestead law
n.
Any of several laws passed in most states exempting a householder's homestead from attachment or forced sale to meet general debts.
 in Texas, homeowners can file for immediate protection status that will legally safeguard their homes from being seized in creditor proceedings.

The law, called Designation of Homestead, differs from the Homestead Tax Exemption tax exemption, immunity from the requirement of paying taxes. Federal, state, and usually local law provide exemption from taxation for a wide variety of organizations, usually not-for-profit, such as churches, colleges, universities, health care providers, various  law (which leaves a minimum of a 10-month window open after filings, allowing creditors to sue or place a lien on homeowners' property during the time it is left unprotected).

Although the Homestead Tax Exemption law has recently been revised to eventually grant homeowners an automatic Designation of Homestead after filing, the window of vulnerability A window of vulnerability or wov is a time frame within which defensive measures are reduced, compromised or lacking.

The term is used with reference to military defences of strategic assets, and also by analogy in computer software to a software vulnerability which is open
 - a minimum of 10 months - can, in some cases, take up to TWO YEARS for this protection to come into effect. Most creditors will seize the opportunity during this large time frame to place a lien on the property.

Filing directly for a Designation of Homestead not only safeguards your home, but also protects you from creditors immediately. Few people are aware of this law and even fewer still know how to properly file the necessary documents.

That's where Homestead Recording Service (reached at 800/400-1693) comes in. For a nominal fee ($25 to prepare the documents and another $22 to save you the hassle of filing the document in local circuit court) this company will file the necessary papers to protect your property from creditors.

The protection begins immediately after filing, and will protect your home every year thereafter.

Why Wait?

Filing or receiving the Designation of Homestead protection after the fact will not protect your home from previously filed writs WRITS, JUDICIAL, practice. In England those writs which issue from the common law courts during the progress of a suit, are described as judicial writs, by way of distinction from the original one obtained from chancery. 3 Bl. Com. 282.  or judgments. Divorce, job loss, bankruptcy, and lawsuits are never part of the "plan." The smartest thing homeowners can do for themselves is to put into effect the law that will offer you protection when you need it the most. Why not let Homestead Recording Service help?

Remember: It isn't necessary to fall on bad times to prepare for them.
