A Community Property Agreement is a
specifically statutorily created agreement that spouses
may enter into after marriage which converts separate
property of either spouse into community property.
It is different than a Prenuptial Agreement in that it is
entered into after marriage, whereas a Prenuptial
Agreement is entered into in anticipation of marriage.
There are specific procedural requirements regarding the
validity of a Community Property Agreement that need to
be followed to be enforceable in Washington state.
Many people use Community Property Agreements
as Estate Planning devices to avoid probate. A
community property agreement may also affect how a court
characterizes property in a divorce, and therefore may
have specific ramifications in determining division of
property as the characterization of property usually
impacts the division thereto.
