[WSBAPT] Community property inheritance question

[Lisa E Schuchman]

A client bought a home with her husband in 1991.  This was a second marriage for both and they both had kids.  He died intestate in 2007, and she just died testate.  Her estate is pretty simple and her only heir is her daughter.  Now we need to clear title to the home, which I believe would be community property and would belong to the first decedent's surviving spouse (my client).  Is this as simple as an affidavit of lack of probate?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
