Et al. is a Latin abbreviation for "and othersâ€Â, especially other persons. It is used when referring to a number of people, i.e., Robert Cummings, et al., hit their acting peaks in the 1940s. It is typically used in the caption of court documents following the first named party to signify that more than one individual is aligned on one side of the case, i.e., Robert Cummings et al. vs BP Oil Company.

Et al. has various uses in deeds that convey real estate such as:


  • in descriptions when referring to several abutters along the same boundary- bounded on the West by Dave Brubeck et al.
  • when referring to encumbrances- subject to a right of way granted to Paul Desmond et al. and recorded in Book 2378 Page 129
  • in the title reference- being the same property conveyed to the grantor by deed of Joe Morello, et al.

Et al. should not be used in the granting clause of a deed because all the grantors and grantees must be listed in the grantee index of the land records when the deed is recorded.

Et al is from the Latin meaning "and others." Jt means joint tenant. My partner and I recently bought a house. We are joint tenants with right of survivorship meaning, if one of us should die, the other becomes the sole owner of the house; the deceased person's estate does not get a share. The county website lists the owner of our property as "Jane Doe Etal J/t."

Et al is a Latin term that means and others. When used on a property deed it means that there are other people or items included other than those named.
