Not sure this is the right document? Say so when you call — if it is a legal question we will tell you, rather than guess.
What this is
A homestead declaration is filed with the county recorder and protects your home from being seized and sold if a money judgment is entered against you by a court. This is Nevada’s homestead protection, set out in NRS 115 — and for the home you live in, it is one of the least expensive protections the law offers.
Properties that qualify
- Land with a dwelling house on it, plus appurtenances (fixtures and buildings)
- A mobile home, whether or not you own the land it sits on
- A condominium unit
What a declaration of homestead provides
When you record a declaration of homestead, Nevada law protects the equity in your home up to $605,000 from general creditor claims — unpaid medical bills, bankruptcy, charge card debts, business or personal loans, and accidents. If your equity exceeds $605,000, you are still entitled to keep the first $605,000 if the property is sold to satisfy a judgment.
What it does not provide
The homestead law does not protect you against debts secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, payment of taxes, IRS liens, mechanic’s liens, or child support and alimony payments.
This is a Nevada-specific service: the declaration protects a Nevada primary residence and records in the county where the home sits. Speak with us before your signing and you will hear the whole cost — preparation, notarization and the county’s recording fee at cost.
Who it is for
- You own the Nevada home you live in.
- You have just bought, refinanced, or moved into a new primary residence.
- You own a mobile home or a condominium unit and want it covered too.
- You want the declaration prepared and recorded rather than doing it yourself.
What is included
- Preparation of the declaration
- Notarization at your kitchen table — or wherever you are
- Recording with the county recorder, fee passed through at cost
What it costs
From $150 Preparation only. Transfer tax, if any, and the county recording fee are separate and passed through at cost.
What to have ready

If something on this list is missing, call anyway — most of it can be sorted out before the appointment.
Our Nevada home base
These are the communities we cover in person from our Las Vegas headquarters. Outside Nevada, we arrange the signing wherever you are — performed by a notary commissioned in that state.
How it works
From the first call to the recorded copy
Most people have never done this before and are doing it at a difficult moment. So here is the whole thing, in order, with nothing left out.
We travel to you by appointment, including evenings and weekends.
-
You call or text us
Tell us what has to be signed and where you are. If it is not something we should be doing for you, we say so on that first call.
-
A short intake
We confirm the names, how title is currently held, the parcel number, and exactly how the document should read. Then we tell you what to have ready — current photo ID for every signer, and the existing deed if you have it.
-
We prepare the documents you direct us to prepare
Drafted from what you told us and formatted to the recorder’s requirements, then sent to you to read before anyone signs anything.
-
We come to you for the signing
Your kitchen table, your office, a hospital room, a care facility. Every signer shows current photo ID, and we complete the notarial certificate and the journal entry the law requires.
-
We record it with the county
Anything that touches real property goes to the recorder for the property’s county — requirements vary by county, and the document is formatted to the right one — with the correct cover sheet and the correct fees, which are passed through to you at cost.
-
You get the recorded copy
The recorded document is emailed to you as soon as it comes back, and the original is mailed with the right postage and mail class. You keep your originals; we retain only the journal record the law requires.
Also
More ways we protect what you own
Trust signings and trust funding — we notarize the trust your attorney drew, and prepare and record the deeds that move property into it.
Secured promissory notes executed quickly and correctly — security for every loan.
A power of attorney only works once it is signed and notarized properly. We handle that part — at your home, your office, or a hospital…
The notary comes to you. Your kitchen table, your office, a hospital room, a lobby between meetings — by appointment, including evenings and weekends.

We come to you
Your home, your office, a hospital room or a care facility. There is no office visit to arrange.
-
No contract
Simple per-transaction pricing. No subscription, no retainer, no minimum.

Evenings and weekends
By appointment, because the paperwork rarely waits for business hours.
