Don't have to be on the deed even to declare it your homestead.It may be splitting hairs, and I may have been unclear in my initial post, but I believe homestead laws are designed in part to protect non-title holding spouses, so if the new wife moves into her husband's house he cannot sell or mortgage without the wife's consent nor can it be forced to be sold to pay involuntary creditors (as opposed to voluntary creditors such as mtg/DOT lenders).
