Uniform Disposition of Community Property at Death Act

Read a random definition: forty-days court

A quick definition of Uniform Disposition of Community Property at Death Act:

The Uniform Disposition of Community Property at Death Act is a law created in 1971 to protect the rights of both spouses in property that was considered community property before they moved to a state that does not recognize community property. This law ensures that each spouse's rights to the property are preserved, unless they have changed or given up those rights.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Disposition of Community Property at Death Act is a law created in 1971 to protect the rights of each spouse in property that was community property before they moved to a non-community-property state. This law applies unless the spouses have changed or ended their community-property rights.

Let's say a married couple lived in California, where all property acquired during the marriage is considered community property. They then move to Texas, which is not a community-property state. If one spouse dies, the Uniform Disposition of Community Property at Death Act would ensure that the surviving spouse still has rights to their community property, even though they now live in a non-community-property state.

Another example would be if the couple had a joint bank account in California. If one spouse dies, the surviving spouse would still have rights to the money in the account, even if they now live in a non-community-property state.

These examples illustrate how the Uniform Disposition of Community Property at Death Act protects the rights of spouses in community property, even if they move to a state where community property is not recognized.
