For the retirement account it did. She did not say anything about that regarding her grandmother selling real estate, which is what I replying to. It was inherited property though...I thought when you inherited real estate and/or money that doesn't fall under communal property (I could be wrong). Considering her grandmother was selling property back in 1918 the laws have probably changed a great deal. If you haven't comingled inherited property, and you're not in a community property state it's not communal property. And I actually know people who have gotten mortgages without their spouses signing off, and in at least one case even being aware!
In 1918, I'm sure laws were different and much more sexist, so who knows. Well, I mean I hope they would be less sexist now anyway - I'm actually not "sure" at all!! Louisiana is now a community property state but I have no idea when community-property vs not community-property started to be a recognized thing.

Nope. Inherited in my husbands cass too. I actually had to sign off when he sold his mothers house. I forgot about that. But a quick google search will explain why Okay, I just looked it up (if legal zoom can be considered a reliable source - ha). It states that an inheritance is kept separate except in the case of a divorce.
ETA: And it looks like even in the case of a divorce there are very limited reasons as to why it would be divided. You can keep an inheritance completely separate from marital property if you want.
Yes and no. The attorney made me sign off to close. How can someone prove that the spouse put no money into a house? All he had to do was use joint money to pay taxes, insurance or anything and he broke the separation.

Back to Talibama...women were not even allowed to serve on a jury there until the 1960's. It's not like we have to look very far back in history to find crazy ass sexism in the south.

The form stated that if you lived in Louisiana, and were a woman, your husband had to sign as well. This was in 1980 and applied only to married women in Louisiana. It did not apply to married men. Back in 1918, my great grandmother inherited property from her grandfather. She could not sell it without her husband’s signature giving his consent. Also in Louisiana It’s considered marital property. I had to sign off on a mortgage on a house my ex owned even though I was not on the deed. He had to waive rights to property I bought in Florida, too. Those are not sexist laws. The laws are sexist if they only apply to married women. The law I was referring to did apply only to married women. Married men did not need their wife’s signature on the form to change their investments. I thought I had made that point pretty clear.

You were not reading her post correctly. She said that the law explicitly stated it applied to married women and not to married men. You said that's not sexist, I am pointing out that it is the literal definition of sexism. For the retirement account it did. She did not say anything about that regarding her grandmother selling real estate, which is what I replying to. My grandmother could not sell her inherited property without her husband’s signature. It stated “To consent and advise” under his signature. He, otoh, bought and sold property without her signature.

I bought my place 4 years ago. Mortgage application forced me to check "single woman". There was no single man option. Probably how some men can take out second mortgages and other stuff without their wife knowing.
I'm guessing in teqilia case she either lives in a communal property state or the attorney was just good and believed in cya. Having someone sign off even if they didn't have to leaves no room for dissent (usually).

Having someone sign off even if they didn't have to leaves no room for dissent (usually). Same thing when I bought my condo 2 years ago. It actually isn't a terrible thing in that the lenders, etc. want to know how many single women are purchasing property. It allows them to see the shifts in the market and alter the way they might do business.
I noticed car dealerships have made a lot of changes in the last 25 years. I bought my first car (completely on my own) at the age of 22. There were comments such as "are you sure you don't want your boyfriend or your dad to do the test drive," "maybe you should bring your dad back here with you" and "remember, we still need to check your credit."
I didn't hear that kind of bullshit at any of the dealerships I visited for the last 2 cars I bought.

But why don't the lenders want to know how many single men are purchasing property?

But why don't the lenders want to know how many single men are purchasing property? Yeah, they don't care...in the past men have always been the main buyers (married or single). Now single women are making a huge splash in the real estate market. It is all demographics to help them with their marketing, etc. We collect the same type of demographics at my organization. My company works with a particular field of medicine. We have seen a huge swing over the last decade of females entering the field. We use that data, along with age demographics (e.g. how many are retiring, what the average age is when they decide to open their own practice, etc.) to help determine who our future clients will be.

Probably a sexist thing, but it could have been your age plus sexism, in which case, you aged out of that talk, but it may still happen with young women. I have told y'all this before, but I was looking at the deeds if houses in our neighborhood going back to when the houses were built, and they still have similar language (Thyme, an unmarried woman; or Joe, an unmarried man, or Thyme and Joe, a married couple, etc) but one from the 40's that had something like Mary, a spinster... LOL.

Not house related but I was watching Expedition Unknown and it was an episode about an all female fighter pilot unit in WWII known as the WASPS. They were showing an old news clip and it introduces the women and then leads into this gem ..
"These women aren't here for a romantic dalliance, they are here to work!"
Wow. DH said you'd never in a million years have heard that on a recording about male fighter pilots.
Yeah ..the good ole days.

These are the 7 tenets of the Satanic Temple. They sound like awful people, don't they? Show it to your daughter, Thyme. THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS. -One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. -The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. -One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. -The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. -Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. -People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. -Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word. thesatanictemple.com/pages/tenets
