[WSBARP] Community Property Agreements

[John McCrady]

Has anyone dealt with a situation where a HWF execute and record a CPA with the standard language:

Years later the husband buys a parcel of land as his separate property, and Wife executes and records a Quit Claim Deed "to separate community property"

At face value I think the CPA should work immediately to re-create community property.
However, I did find a Division III opinion that, under somewhat different circumstances, viewed the Quit Claim Deed as a partial revocation of the CPA.

Has anyone had any experience with this type of situation?
