| − | Maine recognizes statutory marital interest in real property for non-titled (nonowner) spouses under limited circumstances. The signature of a non-titled spouse is usually not required to convey title. [http://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/33/title33sec480.html Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 33, § 480]. A non-titled spousal signature is only required when there is a pending divorce or a non-bona-fide conveyance is being made during the marriage. [http://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/33/title33sec480.html Id]. The signature of a non-titled spouse is not required on any bona fide mortgage. [http://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/33/title33sec480.html Id].
