In real estate and legal documents, Et Ux is a Latin abbreviation meaning and wife. It is used to refer to a married couple when identifying parties to a deed, mortgage, or other legal instrument, typically listing the husband’s name followed by “et ux.”
The term indicates that the wife has an interest in the property or transaction, even if her name is not separately stated. While still found in older records and some legal contexts, the use of “et ux” has become less common as modern practices favor listing both spouses by name.
