I haven't researched it in a while, but don't believe you have to be on title to claim a homestead exemption.

Dear Colleagues,
My clients mother died in 2013, and left her home to her five children in
equal portions in her living trust. The children never recorded any
change in title, so if a Chapter 7 Trustee were to look into the property, the
deceased mother would be the only owner. However, pursuant to the trust, my
client has a 1/5 future interest in the house. He and his minor childrenlive in the house.
Can he exempt his future interest in the home using the automatic
homestead exemption? He doesnt have the funds to do the title change and pay for
the Chapter 7, and he needs to file quickly. Thoughts?
Thanks for your collective wisdom,
Nick
