📰 News we're reading

• Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell today reminded homeowners about the importance of filing for Homestead Protection (franklinmatters.org) — Homeowners in Dedham and across Norfolk County can significantly increase protection on their primary residence by filing a Declaration of Homestead at the Registry of Deeds on High Street in Dedham. The exemption now shields up to $1 million in equity, applies retroactively to existing filings, and offers added safeguards for elders, recent sellers, and those rebuilding after damage, though some debts remain exempt.
