FAQ
California married couples generally have three options to take title to their community (vs separate) property real estate: community property, joint tenancy or Community Property with Right of Survivorship. The latter coming into play in California July of 2001.
Separate property belongs to the spouse who owns it and is not generally divided in a divorce. California law also provides that property spouses acquire before a divorce, but after the date of separation, is separate property.
It's often easier to qualify for a joint mortgage, because both spouses can contribute income and assets to the application. However, if one spouse can qualify for a mortgage based on his own income and credit, the mortgage does not need to be in both spouses' names unless you live in a community property state.
In cases where a couple shares a home but only one spouse's name is on it, the home will not automatically pass to the surviving pass, if his or her name is not on the title.
In California, all property bought during the marriage with income that was earned during the marriage is deemed "community property." The law implies that both spouses own this property equally, regardless of which name is on the title deed.
The names on the mortgage show who's responsible for paying back the loan, while the title shows who owns the property. You can put your spouse on the title without putting them on the mortgage; this would mean that they share ownership of the home but aren't legally responsible for making mortgage payments.
In that case, you simply divide your interest into equal parts. For example, if there are two of you, you would each agree to divide your shares 50/50. If you have a TIC, you have more options, because you don't have to divide your interests 50/50. Instead, you can divide the shares into fractional ownership.
In California, most married couples hold real property (such as land and buildings) as joint tenants with right of survivorship.For instance, many married couples share real property as joint tenants. This way, upon the death of a spouse, the surviving spouse will own 100% share of the property.
Separate property can become marital property if it is mixed with marital property. For example, if one of the spouses uses money they had before the marriage to buy a house for the couple, that money might become marital property.
