Homestead - The common definition is a piece of property (house, condo, etc) occupied as a family residence. In Nevada, it also means registering your primary residence with the County Recorders office under the Nevada Homestead protection rule. When your primary residence has recorded a declaration of homestead, you gain additional protections towards the equity in your home up to $350,000 from general creditor claims (unpaid medical bills, bankruptcy, charge card debts, business/personal loans, accidents). However, it will not preclude a seizure or forced sale of your residence from general creditors if your equity exceeds the $350,000 under Nevada law statute NRS 115.

HUD - An acronym for the governmental department of Housing and Urban Development.
