[WSBARP] Create Community Property v. Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship

[Kary Krismer]

Some things to think about that I don't know the answer to.

1.  My guess is a JTWRS would not be subject to the award in lieu of 
homestead, or whatever it's called now.  Given that is now the median 
value of a home in the county, that could be a huge difference if I'm right.

2. I'm not sure what the step up in basis rules are for a JTWRS when the 
spouse is the survivor.
