I don’t think so; cpa requires a marriage.  Binding post nuptial agreement modified to be post dom pship agreement should work.

Listmates:

Have not run into this before.  Couple got back together after been married (for along time) then divorced.  Rather than remarry, they became a registered domestic partnership.  Can I use a Community Property Agreement to avoid probate on the first to pass, or, at least as to real estate, convert their ownership into a JTWROS?
