Subject: [WSBAPT] Transfer on Death Deed and Community Property Agreement

Good Afternoon Everyone!

My clients (married couple) are interested in doing a Tranfer Upon Death Deed.  They will be executing also a Community Property Agreement.  They currently hold the property as 'husband and wife.'

Could someoe please confirm for me that in the above senario, it is not the case that upon the death of the first spouse, that the surviivng spouse now holds the property as tenants in common with the TODD beneficiaries, but rather that upon the death of the first spouse, the surviving spouse becomes the only property owner, and it is not until then the surviving spouse dies that the property is transferred to the beneficiaries of the TODD?

Thank you!
