SECTION 153.2. Voluntary Lien: Section 50(a)(6)(A)

Latest version.

An equity loan must be secured by a voluntary lien on the homestead created under a written agreement with the consent of each owner and each owner's spouse.
(1) The consent of each owner and each owner's spouse must be obtained, regardless of whether any owner's spouse has a community property interest or other interest in the homestead.
(2) An owner or an owner's spouse who is not a maker of the note may consent to the lien by signing a written consent to the mortgage instrument. The consent may be included in the mortgage instrument or a separate document.
(3) The lender, at its option, may require each owner and each owner's spouse to consent to the equity loan. This option is in addition to the consent required for the lien.
