Dower Rights, would you like to give up your claim to Dower Rights? Some states like Michigan have Dower Rights others have Curtsy rights and some have both. This week I had an agent make a unique request. The agent wanted a release form for Dower Rights. I said are you sure you want that form? Why would a woman give up her legal claim as in half (50%) ownership in anything? The situation is based, in this case, on emotional issues. The home that is to be listed is was the ex-wife's along with her new husband. The current wife wants nothing to do with anything the ex-wife was remotely involved with or tied too in any way shape or form. My agent did a very good job explaining Dower Rights but it fell on deaf ears....the spouse wants off the contract and to have nothing to do with...
