Homestead

More than likely, when you purchased your home, your attorney made sure you declared a Homestead. Please be aware that it may be time for you to declare a Homestead again, only this time as an elderly homeowner. Did you know that there are more benefits for the elderly who declare a Homestead ? If you or a joint owner of your home are 62 years or older, you or they may declare an elderly Homestead. For more information, please contact the Registry of Deeds by calling (413) 443-7438 or go to the Registry’s website at BerkshireMiddleDeeds.com for more information about the Homestead Act and how to declare a Homestead for you and your family.
