Is et al legal in a deed?

Answer:
It cannot be used in the granting clause. Every grantor and every grantee must be listed on the deed by name so their ownership can be documented in the land records.

Et al is often used in the description to identify abutters. The first abutter on any particular boundary is mentioned by name followed by et al to indicate that there are other abutters on that line.
