    Assuming there are no impediments to the title, the named grantee (recipient of the deed) is the owner of legal title. Depending on individual state law, and the type of property (there are different rules for primary residences) the legally married spouse of the title owner may have certain legal interests in the property even though unnamed. The only way to be sure is to bring the copy of the deed to an attorney in your state or have a title search done & bring that to an attorney.
