<p>Title is not determinate, but I don't know of any case law that
using SP isn't enough if title is only taken in only one name
(although "John Doe, a married man" is sort of unusual if not
ambiguous). Source of funds is the typical tracing analysis. Is
there some case law relatively new that I'm not aware of that
would convert SP into CP simply because of a transfer of type of
property?<br>

law, WA favors characterization of property as community
property unless there is clearly no question of its separate
character. If property is acquired during marriage, except by
gift or inheritance, it's presumed community property. The
party who wants to rebut that presumption must do so by clear
and convincing evidence that the property was meant to be
separate. The name on the deed is not enough to overcome the
presumption. Using separate funds to purchase isn't enough by
itself either. </div>
