May a homestead be filed for property held by the type of title known as tenancy in common?
Yes. Each tenant in common may declare a homestead covering his or her interest in the property. The homestead protection is subject to the rights of each co-tenant to enforce partition of the property. Although it may not be required in the state you reside that each tenant file a separate form, we recommend that non-married joint tenants each file their own separate homestead declaration just to be on the safe side.
