There is no legal method of dividing the property of unmarried house-mates. They need to work it out between the parties. If the parties acquired real property as joint tenants each is entitled to one-half of the net proceeds when the property is sold. Each is entitled to one-half of the balance of any joint bank accounts but beware that generally, either can empty the accounts without the other's permission.

What does divided interest mean as far as property goes when a father gives two children property but he has a liftime dowery?

Say that a married couple own a house together. They have what is called equal and undivided interest in the property. They each have full interest, but they can't say: "Joe owns the den and garage, and Mary owns the closets and bathrooms". They each own all of it. Divided interest is where various parts of property go to separate individuals.

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.

If a married woman with three children dies intestate how would her property be distributed?

" If there is no will , the procedure used for transferring property the deceased propert to his/her heirs is called Intestate succession. In the state of California the rules for dividing property are complex and dependent upon the relationship of kin: separate property: if the decedent has no will and leaves a spouse and one child, property is divided equally, 50-50. if there is a surviving spouse and two children, 1/3 goes to the spouse and 2/3 to the children. if there is no surviving spouse, property is divided qually among the children."
