Did a quick Net search and found this source for the Virginia homestead deed form for married couples plus instructions on how to fill it out and file it - http://www.homesteadforms.us/Virgini...e_28127_p.html . Unfortunately costs $15.95 though (and probably more for shipping )

Your local court or Legal Aid office may give you this form and explain how to fill it out and file it for free. I'd start there first. Good luck!

I need to claim my wildcard exemption so I can keep my tax refund of 6000.00 without the trustee trying to take it. In certain states like mines VA you have to file a homestead declartion to claim that exemption.

OP, I did the paperwork for my family and we filed pro se (Western District VA). In the Code of Virginia, look up 34-14 "How to set apart in personal estate; form to claim exemption of personal property".

It has a sample homestead deed but make sure you add in the part for the notary at the bottom. Here's what I put on ours:

"The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me this _(date)___ day of __(month, year)___, by __(your name)___.

Signature of householder __(this is where you sign)____

Signature of Notary Public __(notary signs here)____

My commission expires: _______________


It cost us $21 to file it and you take it to the city office where deeds are filed.


I also did all our other papers myself and so far no problems. Make sure you file the homestead deed within 5 days (not business days) of your 341 meeting. If you can file it before your earing, that's even better because then you can take it with you to the meeting.
