Can husband witness wife's signature as to her separate property
I have another question about proper witnesses - when the land is situated in Louisiana. On several occasions I've had husbands witness their wife's signature when the wife was dealing with her separate property (and the husband wasn't a party, just a witness to his wife's signature). I've also had the reverse of this where the wife witnesses the husband's signature when its the husband's separate property (and the wife is not a party, just a witness). Seems like this is a fairly common practice with landmen.
My question, is this pracice in these circumstances (separate property) perfectly OK or would it be better to have someone other than the spouse witness the signing party's signature??? Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

I see no difference in a husband witness and say a sister or brother, brother-in-law, etc. Your are witness that the person signing is in fact the person signing. Am I not correct?

For what its worth, I just spoke to a prominent divorce attorney, and he said (somewhat jokingly and somewhat seariously) that when representing husbands, its good to have the wife as a witness, so that she can't later claim she didn't know about the deal.

If it's separate property, its a mute point.

I can answer that one, as soon as my wife leaves the room.

I remember reading somewhere that over 70% of all words said on the planet are said, regardless of language, culture, religeon or location, by women. I'll bet that statistic also holds true on other planets where there's life.

Harold,
That average runs a little higher at my house, I'd put it into the 87% range, and to break it down further for you.
Love talk 2%
I need something around the house done 25%
Just nag, too nag 60%

Cathaus,
If we weren't hearing the words, how come we're all pretty good at breaking out the percentages? Now that I think about it, I do it at home by random sampling.

Good luck at that, you may have some sixth sense but things kinda blow with the wind with a lot of folks. Does random sampling take in things that are "cute"?
