Yes, you can specifically state what is covered by the CPA. https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=26.16.120
RCW 26.16.120: Agreements as to status. - Washington<https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=26.16.120>
Nothing contained in any of the provisions of *this chapter or in any law of this state, shall prevent both spouses or both domestic partners from jointly entering into any agreement concerning the status or disposition of the whole or any portion of the community property, then owned by them or afterwards to be acquired, to take effect upon the death of either.

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?
