Yes, you can specifically state what is covered by the CPA. https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=26.16.120

Subject: [WSBAPT] Single Asset CPA???


Listees, married couple comes to me for estate planning with both having children from previous marriages.  The distribution of all assets have been addressed but they like the idea of a community property agreement to skip probate for the residence (if advisable at the time of death). Is it possible to modify the standard CPA so it concerns ONLY the residence and not all assets owned by the couple?
