What it does
Existing law prescribes different characteristics applicable to property ownership. With regard to community property held by spouses, if the property is expressly declared to be community property with right of survivorship in the transfer document, existing law requires that, upon the death of one of the parties, the property passes to the survivor without probate administration, in the same manner as property held in joint tenancy. Existing law applies these provisions to instruments created on and after July 1, 2001.
