Yes, an agreement is typically required to create a right of survivorship in community property. In many jurisdictions, spouses must explicitly state their intention to establish a right of survivorship, often through a written agreement or a specific designation in a deed. This ensures that upon the death of one spouse, the surviving spouse automatically receives full ownership of the property without going through probate.

How do you know if you have right of survivorship on a property you own with a non-spouse?

A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.


Is Texas a Tenancy by the Entirety state?

Texas recognizes "TENANCY BY THE ENTIRETY" only by mention in the BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS CODE Sec. 152.052. and Sec. 252.001.However the concept is overridden by the inheritance laws / probate code and community property laws. In Texas inheritance of community property gives the spouse one half and the rest to other heirs unless it is "COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH A RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP".In most states when the grantees of a deed are stated to be "Husband and Wife" a "TENANCY BY THE ENTIRETY" is created.In Texas "Husband and Wife" merely created community property.And does not necessarily do that if the grantor is one of the spouses and the deed does not declare and acknowledge the property to be community property with a notice of the effect of the document required by Texas Family Code.Utilizing both the identification of the grantees as "Husband and Wife" and declaration and acknowledgment of the property as "COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH A RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP" provides the clarity needed.

Does the right of survivorship apply with out a will?

The right of survivorship literally means that a will is not required. That is, between two people (A and B, for example) who are co-tenants with right of survivorship to a piece of property, the one of A and B who is alive after the other's death will own the property in full. So if A dies first, B will own the property outright, and if B dies first, A will own the property outright. So in any case, right of survivorship by its very existence means that a will is not required regarding that particular item of property only.
