[WSBARP] joint tenants with rights of survivorship

[Kristina Driessen]

I know this has been posted before; but can someone explain the pit falls of putting property into joint tenants with rights of survivorship vs. two transfer on death deeds.
The parties are married and one spouse executed a QCD to the other; so both names are on title at this point.
The parties are married, but wish to avoid a probate. A community property agreement is not the answer as there are children from a previous union. Unless, it is possible to do a community property agreement that only relates to the real property?
I seem to recall the advantages of not doing the joint tenants with rights of survivorship, but am drawing a blank.
