Bill Summary

Relative to the definition of homestead. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 1 of Chapter 188 of the General Laws, which defines a "homestead," by adding language to include property held in trust for the benefit of a person who also lives there as their primary residence. This change would expand the definition of a homestead to encompass certain types of trusts, providing potential legal protections to individuals who own their homes through such arrangements, in addition to those who own their homes outright.
