<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding this issue…I have a related question that just came up on a case.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Husband purchased property as separate property prior to marriage when he was single. A few years later he marries wife and decided to add wife onto title as “A and B, husband and wife, community property with right of survivorship.” Wife
later is diagnosed with cancer and executes a Will in Canada which gives all her property to her son (very long and strange story). The Will includes a provision that her interest in the property goes in Trust for son (who is disabled). Wife recently passes
away and now husband is concerned with whether he is 100% owner of property or not.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In reading community property statute – a spouse can gift only up to ½ of community property. BUT, does the right of survivorship language supersede that “gift” and did title vest in husband as a joint tenant upon wife’s death? Also, wife
contributed very little, if any money to maintenance costs of house/mortgage. <o:p>
