(3)(a) On or after November 21, 1986, prior to the execution of any mortgage or trust deed upon agricultural land, the mortgagor or trustor may disclaim in writing his or her right to make a designation of homestead. The disclaimer shall contain a statement by the mortgagor or trustor that no part of his or her homestead is presently or in the future will be situated upon the real estate described in the mortgage or trust deed and that the mortgagor or trustor understands that if he or she establishes a homestead on any part of the real estate during the time the mortgage or trust deed remains unsatisfied and a lien upon the real estate, there shall be no right to make a designation of homestead in the event of a foreclosure or trustee's sale upon such mortgage or trust deed. Such written disclaimer shall be set forth as a preface to the mortgage or trust deed and shall be filed for record as a part of the mortgage or trust deed in the office of the register of deeds. Failure by the mortgagee or trustee to file a written disclaimer as provided in this subdivision shall nullify any purported disclaimer by the mortgagor or trustor of his or her right to make a designation of homestead.

The written acknowledgment shall contain a statement that the mortgagor or trustor understands that he or she has the right to make a designation of homestead in the mortgage or trust deed and the execution of such acknowledgment constitutes the waiver of rights otherwise available for the purpose of affording the mortgagor or trustor the opportunity to retain his or her homestead in the event of a default upon such mortgage or trust deed. Such written acknowledgment shall be set forth as a preface to the mortgage or trust deed and shall be filed for record as a part of the mortgage or trust deed in the office of the register of deeds. Failure by the mortgagee or trustee to file a written acknowledgment as provided in this subdivision shall nullify any purported waiver by the mortgagor or trustor of his or her right to make a designation of homestead.
