[WSBAPT] California real estate and probate question

[Lisa Schuchman]

I have clients who bought a condo in CA before they were married.  They took title as JTWROS.  Since then they have married.  My question: when the first one of them dies, will CA require an ancillary probate even with the JTWROS title?

Thanks.
