homestead

Louis Robb.

I am not sure if this exists in most English speaking countries.

It consists in declaring at a Notary´s office and including it in the Real Estate Register, that the home you live in is the only property you have, and that your family lives in it.

The practical effect of this (at least in Argentina) is that even if you incur in non payment of taxes, bankruptcy, etc. nobody can take the property away from you.

Of course, the day you sell it, the history is completely different.

Hope this helps.

homestead, family asset

Homestead only if it is real property such as a home or farm. Family asset if it is non-real or personal property.

You will have to find out from the context which it is.

In the state of Texas, where I live, the family homestead and other non-real estate assets such as necessary furnishings, tools of one\'s trade, and even a vehicle and others can be protected against attachments. This of course varies by state.

\"Home equity loans\" were only authorized in Texas a few years ago; until that time the debt on a homestead could not be increased except for the cost of an improvement.

This concept definitely exists in the US.

Registry for Family Asset Protection

My first instinct was that this was talking about family assets. In actual fact, it is talking about a Registry where you can register your family assets for protection (against bankruptcy, creditors, etc.).

Here is the site from Argentina:

--------------------------------------

Régimen de Bien de Familia

Introducción
El Bien de Familia es una institución jurídica reglada por la ley 14.394 y por los decretos leyes 6687/62 y 6688/62. Se basa en la voluntad de los titulares para someter el inmueble que es alojamiento o sustento económico de la familia, a un régimen especial. Este régimen ofrece como beneficio principal la protección del inmueble. Tiene como objetivo asegurar la conservación dentro del patrimonio familiar del inmueble que sirve como vivienda o explotación personal para sustento económica, para así procurar la cohesión familiar.

Horario
El horario para el inicio de las tramitaciones es de 8:30 a 13 hs.

Duración del Trámite
En la actualidad, (y salvo para los partidos de La Plata, Berisso y Ensenada, cuyos trámites se realizan en 24 horas) usted concurre una sola vez, terminando EN EL DIA el trámite de Afectación o Desafectación.

In North America we don't actually have an equivalent for this. Of course, there are legal documents and procedures for protecting family assets, but no actual REGISTRY. So I think you would be best to leave it as is, and leave the above explanation in parenthesis.

I hope this helps!
