Q. Can you explain a Continuous Marriage Affidavit and can someone other than surviving spouse sign it?

July 17, 2017

A: A Continuous Marriage Affidavit (a/k/a CMA) is an affidavit that states that the property was acquired by the owners during their marriage (as tenants by the entirety) and the owners remained married (continuously) through the date of sale or the passing (date of death) of one of the spouses. You will need to confirm with the title company/underwriter who should sign the CMA affidavit.
