This session explores community property law, focusing on its legal principles and practical applications. Community property is a unique legal concept governing marital property rights in certain jurisdictions—and may travel with couples who have lived in, or who move to, a community property jurisdiction. Because of this, even if you do not practice in a community property jurisdiction, you're likely to come across community property concerns with some regularity. Thus, a foundational understanding of community property is essential for legal professionals in the trusts and estates field because it can impact spouse's rights, creditor rights, and taxation.
