After the death of Franco, King Juan Carlos I gave Franco's widow, Carmen Polo, the hereditary title Señora de Meirás (English: Lady of Meirás). The title passed to Carmen Polo's grandson Francisco Franco, 2nd Lord of Meirás, although her daughter, Carmen Franco, 1st Duchess of Franco, was associated with the house; after Polo's death at the end of 2017, the family put the property on the market in 2018.
