<p>If a judgment is only against one spouse, and not the community,
then subject to only a few exceptions the community property
cannot be reached by the judgment creditor. The one exception I
(think I) remember is certain tort claims, where the creditor can
reach half.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Deed to “husband and wife” nominally
creates community property. At death, a spouse can devise his
or her ˝ of community property, and community property of a
spouse dying intestate goes to the survivor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, in Washington, title does not
necessarily determine the character (community or separate) of
property. There is a presumption that property acquired
during the marriage is community property. However, a
proponent of separate characterization can prove, by clear and
convincing evidence, that the source of funds for the purchase
had a separate character (premarital or from a gift to that
spouse) and that therefore the real property is separate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To create a right of survivorship in the
deed, the deed should be a joint tenancy, which creates a
non-probate asset.<o:p></o:p></p>
