Description

Community property refers to the system in some states (e.g., Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin) for dividing a married couple's property in a divorce or upon the death of one spouse. In this system, everything a husband and wife acquire once they are married is owned equally (fifty-fifty) by both of them, regardless of who provided the money to purchase the asset or whose name the asset is held in, with the exception of inheritances, specific gifts to one of the spouses, and property and profits clearly traceable to property owned before marriage, all of which is separate property. This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction.

This type of deed is specific to the Virgin Islands jurisdiction. When spouses hold a property as tenants in common, they each have a distinct, undivided interest in the property. However, through a deed conveying property held by spouses as tenants in common to husband and wife as community property, the ownership structure is changed. The property is transformed into community property, where both spouses have an equal and undivided interest in the whole property. This type of deed is often used to ensure equal ownership rights and benefits for both spouses. It creates a more unified ownership structure, commonly found in jurisdictions that recognize community property laws. The Virgin Islands, in particular, allows for this type of property transfer to ensure equitable distribution of assets between spouses.
