Chapter 8 - THE SPOUSAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTEleanor sent me a copy.

Dated eleven years earlier.
My wedding month.
Signed:
Julian Mercer.
He acknowledged:
The Protected Residence was trust-owned.
No marital ownership would arise merely from occupancy.
Any improvements paid by marital funds required prior written agreement if reimbursement would later be claimed from the trust.
No Protected Residence could be pledged, encumbered, or made subject to a marital-property notice without trustee consent.
Then the final paragraph:
Spouse acknowledges that any knowing Adverse Claim may constitute a Triggering Event under Section Fourteen.
Julian’s signature was notarized.
