what does etal on property mean

[BeauDella]

"Etal" on a property document means "and others" and is a Latin abbreviation used in legal and property records to indicate that there are multiple owners without listing every single name. This shorthand is used to save space and is commonly found when property is owned by a group of people, such as a family or other co-owners. It is important to note that even though other owners are not named, they still have a legal stake in the property.
