What is considered community property?

Generally, anything that a married couple accumulates during the marriage is considered community property, that is, both spouses own an undivided share of the whole. Community property courts start with a strong presumption that anything acquired during marriage is a community item, the spouse claiming a particular item is not community property has the burden of proving otherwise. The main areas of separate property are those items acquired before marriage, items received as a gift through a will or by inheritance, and those properties purchased with separate property funds.


In what circumstances can separate property become community property?

If, for example, a spouse deposits his inheritance into a joint bank account where both spouses make withdrawals and deposits, the inheritance could at some point be considered \"commingled\" and part of the marital assets.
