Why Does a Trust Deed Have ‘a Married Man’ After the Grantor’s Name?

Such language indicates that the grantor is married and, as such, his spouse may have certain dower rights in the property.

Dower rights are legal rights in real property that a spouse is entitled to upon the death of the other spouse, the one that owns the real property.

Standard Legal does not include such a reference in the language of its own Quitclaim Deeds or Deeds for Trust.
