Community property with right of survivorship - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Community property with the right of survivorship is an agreement where, after the death of a spouse, ownership of the property that is�jointly owned�by both spouses�automatically passes to the other spouse. The property or asset therefore avoids probate completely.�

For example, a married couple owns a house in a community property state.�Each owns one-half of the whole house. When one spouse dies, the other will take their interest, and subsequently will own the entire house.
