California home owners, are you moving out of your principal residence? If you have filed a Declaration of Homestead naming your current property as your homestead, you will need to file this Declaration of Abandonment of Declared Homestead.

The Declaration of Abandonment notifies all parties with an interest in the property that you are abandoning the property as your homestead (in other words, your principal residence, the place in which you live all or most of the time).

This California homestead declaration is provided in MS Word format, and is easy to download, fill in and print.
