Has the Dower Act been changed by the Adult Interdependent Relationships Act?
No. The Dower Act gives a married person the right to live in the matrimonial home and makes sure that the home will not be mortgaged, sold or transferred without the spouse agreeing. The Adult Interdependent Relationships Act has not amended the Dower Act, so that this right still only extends to those who are married.
