How long does a couple need to be married for property to be considered community property?
You do not necessarily have to be married to own jointly owned property and even when an individual is married for 60 years he could still keep property separate from his spouse. Property is considered jointly owned if you purchased it together (each contributing), your name is on the property, or in some situations when you are married and you have substantially contributed to the property. If your spouse has kept the property separate by keeping it in his name, only putting his money into it then it will be considered separate.
Why should you add your spouse's name to the house title that is only in your name?
If you live in a separate property state that would mean your spouse wants to keep that property separate from you. If your spouse dies that property would not automatically pass to you. It would pass to the heirs at law or according to the will. It may also be considered separate property in the case of a divorce and the distribution of marital property.
