If the grantor or mortgagor is married, must the spouse also sign and acknowledge the instrument?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: True

When a grantor or mortgagor is married, it is common for the spouse to have a legal interest in the property as well. As a result, the spouse must sign and acknowledge the instrument in order to release their interest and ensure that the transfer or mortgage is legally valid. Therefore, the statement in the question, "If the grantor or mortgagor is married, must the spouse also sign and acknowledge the instrument?" is true. Option B is incorrect because the presence of a spouse does not automatically invalidate the need for their signature and acknowledgement.
