Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

FAQ

In Washington, real property conveyed to a married person or a person in a registered domestic partnership is legally presumed to be community property. Exceptions to the rule include properties acquired as separate property by gift, bequest or by agreement (see Sole Ownership example 2 above).

If you are married, you may give your one-half interest in community property through your will. If you die intestate and are survived by a spouse or partner, your entire one-half interest in community property will pass to your surviving spouse or partner.

In Washington, married couples and registered domestic partners can avoid probate by signing a Community Property Agreement (CPA). In the agreement, the couple agrees that when one of them dies, all of that person's property will pass directly to the other.

In Washington, typically all property or assets that belong to a person are called “separate property.” You may carry separate property with you into a marriage, and anything that was yours before will still belong entirely to you afterwards.

Washington treats inheritances the same as gifts. An inheritance to one spouse is that spouse's separate property, regardless when it occurs. Unlike gifts, there tends to be little argument whether the inheritance was to one spouse or both spouses.

The surviving spouse (or his/her written designee) is entitled to manage the community property in the Decedent's probate estate regardless of any provision in the Decedent's Will to the contrary (RCW 11.28. 030).

Property inherited by just one spouse or partner, but not the other (the inheritance is the recipient's separate property); rents, issues, and profits generated by separate property (which become the separate property of the spouse or partner whose separate property generated them);

Perhaps the most direct way to revoke your will is by destroying the document itself. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW 11.12. 040) makes it clear that a “burnt, torn, canceled, obliterated, or destroyed” will is no longer considered valid.

Transmutation is the legal term for when the classification of property changes from separate to community. The intent behind the change becomes important, and evidence that both parties agree must be shown.
