FAQ
Upon the death of one spouse, every asset that is community property is divided in half. One half of the property is retained by the surviving spouse and the other half is passed down to the heirs of the deceased spouse, either by will or trust or by intestacy.
Community Property with Right of Survivorship is an estate planning tool that attempts to avoid probate issues by automatically transferring the deceased spouse's one-half interest in the property to the surviving spouse. This is similar to Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship. A.R.S. 33-431.
In Arizona, property law is governed by ARS Title 33. Joint tenancy with right of survivorship is covered in ARS 33-431. When real property is owned by multiple people, property law refers to it as a concurrent estate. The co-owners, or co-tenants, are commonly categorized as either joint tenants or tenants in common.
A survivorship deed, or a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, is much more difficult to contest than a will bequeathing property to beneficiaries. However, one circumstance in which a survivorship might be successfully contested is when the document granting right of survivorship has not been properly drafted.
Is Inherited Money Community Property In Arizona? Generally, no. An inheritance remains separate property of the spouse that inherits it. However, it is possible that an inheritance or other separate assets becomes mixed or ?comingled? with community property.
The Arizona beneficiary deed form allows property to be automatically transferred to a new owner when the current owner dies, without the need to go through probate. It also gives the current owner retained control over the property, including the right to change his or her mind about the transfer.
In Arizona, if you are married, and you die without a valid Will, your surviving spouse will inherit your one-half of the community property and all of your separate property if you have no children or if you have children only from your current marriage.
Like joint tenancy, community property with the right of survivorship also grants the surviving spouse full ownership of the property. Arizona is one of only five states that have community property with the right of survivorship laws.
