Concerning the "Uniform Community Property Disposition at Death Act".
Bill Summary:
The act repeals and reenacts the "Uniform Community Property Disposition at Death Act."
The act applies to community property acquired by spouses while domiciled in a community property jurisdiction and makes clear that if the spouses partition or reclassify their community property or waive rights under the act, the act no longer applies to that property.
The act creates a rebuttable presumption that all property acquired by spouses when domiciled in a jurisdiction where community property could be acquired is presumed to be community property.
The act provides that upon the death of one community property spouse, half of the property the spouses purchased together belongs to the decedent and the other half to the surviving community property spouse.
The act allows a court to recognize reimbursement rights and rights of redress in response to certain bad faith actions by one community property spouse that might impair the rights of the other community property spouse.
APPROVED by Governor March 23, 2023
