This Idaho Declaration of Non-Abandonment of Homestead is designed for a single person. A Declaration of Homestead protects a certain amount of value in your home from being taken in order to satisfy a judgment. This Non-Abandonment Declaration is for use when unimproved or improved land will be occupied as a principal residence in the future.

In Idaho, a homestead exemption is limited to $100,000 in value and is typically automatic from the time the home is occupied as a principal residence. An exception is if you are going to be absent for a continuous period of six months but do not intend to abandon the property. In this instance a Declaration of Non-Abandonment of Homestead must be recorded in the office of the recorder where the property is situated.

This Idaho Declaration of Non-Abandonment of Homestead for a Single Person contains the following provisions:

Frequently Asked Questions

A Declaration of Non-Abandonment of Homestead is a legal document that asserts an individual's intent to occupy a property as their principal residence in the future, protecting it from being classified as abandoned.

This declaration is typically needed by homeowners who will be temporarily absent from their property for an extended period but intend to return and occupy it as their primary residence.

By filing this declaration, you can maintain your homestead exemption, which protects a certain value of your property from being seized to satisfy debts or judgments.

In Idaho, the declaration must be recorded in the office of the recorder where the property is located, and it must be signed in front of a notary public.

No, this form is not appropriate for individuals selling their property, as it is intended for those who wish to assert their intent to occupy a property as their principal residence.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who plan to leave their property for an extended period but do not intend to abandon it may need this declaration to protect their homestead exemption. By filing this form, they can ensure that their property remains safeguarded against potential claims during their absence.
  • Situations requiring a declaration often arise when a homeowner must relocate temporarily for work or personal reasons. This form allows them to maintain their homestead status and protect the equity in their home while they are away.
  • For those purchasing unimproved land with the intention of building a home in the future, this declaration is essential. It secures their claim to the property as a future homestead, preventing any legal complications that may arise from their absence during the construction phase.
  • Homeowners who are facing a temporary absence due to health issues or family emergencies can utilize this form to affirm their intent to return. This declaration helps in preserving their homestead rights, ensuring that their property is not mistakenly classified as abandoned.
  • Individuals who have recently acquired property but have not yet moved in can benefit from this declaration. It establishes their intent to occupy the property as a principal residence, thereby protecting their investment from potential legal challenges.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not suitable for individuals who are selling their property, as the declaration is meant to protect those who intend to occupy a residence, not those who are relinquishing ownership.
  • – If the property is already occupied as a principal residence, there is no need for this declaration. It is specifically designed for situations where the owner will be absent for an extended period.
  • – Individuals who do not intend to return to the property should refrain from using this form. Filing it under such circumstances could lead to legal complications regarding the homestead exemption.
  • – This declaration should not be used for properties that are being rented out. It is intended for personal residences and does not apply to rental situations where the owner is not occupying the property.
