[WSBAPT] One spouse's IRA as community property?

[Ralph Maimon]

Folks

My client's wife died.  We are probating her will. There is a credit trust.  The great bulk of the  estate is in the husband's IRA with TIAA.  Any thoughts as to whether the TIAA account would be considered community property, whereby half of its value can be considered part of her estate?
