[WSBARP] RE transfer to X as community property

[Jennifer Y. Sohn]

You would do the second option. The surviving spouse's new spouse doesn't
have right to inherit from the deceased spouse's estate.

Subject: [WSBARP] RE transfer to X as community property

 

I'm thinking I've been thinking this through to much, so please someone help
me simplify this scenario:

 

Client probating deceased spouse's intestate estate.  Wants to transfer the
real property to herself and her new spouse.  Can this be done simply by the
PR deed showing Grantee as:

"Client, a married woman, as community property" ?  

or 

would a deed to Client, a married woman as her separate property (which
certainly technically follows intestate statute), followed by another deed
from Client to  Client and New Spouse, as community property be required?

 

Any help would be appreciated and let me get out sooner into that really
nice looking weather!
