Separate property can however, become community property through a process called \"commingling \". This happens when separate property is mixed or \"commingled\" with 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.
No. But the inheritance should always be kept separate and not co-mingled with marital property.
The term community property state means that the community property in a marriage divided equally between the two parties when there is a divorce. This property usually does not include property owned before the marriage.
Giving up your money to the poor is a good deed.
Yes, inheritance can be affected by community property law in Texas because spouses in a community property state typically own equal shares of all marital property acquired during the marriage, which can impact inheritance rights and obligations upon the death of one spouse. Any property owned as community property at the time of death of one spouse may be subject to specific rules under community property laws that could affect inheritance rights. It's important to consult with a legal professional to understand how community property laws in Texas may impact inheritance.
Generally, inherited property is separate property in a community property state.
A lis pendens means that there is a lawsuit pending against the owners of the property, and that the outcome of that lawsuit may affect title to the property. Anyone who buys a property subject to a lis pendens risks losing all or part of the property, depending on the outcome of the lawsuit.
Since the purpose of a lis pendens is to alert future purchasers and/or mortgagees of a property about a lawsuit affecting the property, it cannot be filed in cases where there is no lawsuit. A lis pendens recorded with no reference to a pending lawsuit has no legal impact on the property and can be ignored.
The rules will vary by state if we are talking about the US. In some cases the fact that the money is from a trust will be key to demonstrating that the property is not community property. In other cases the other party will have to have signed a document to evidence that they have no rights to the property. In some locations other factors apply. It could be best that the trust buys the property and holds it in the name of the trust. Then there is little room to argue that the property is community property. Other options exist if the trust does not have enough money to buy the property without financing. Consult a local attorney for laws in your area.
In most cases yes, some states have lawsuit collection limitations with regard to the spouse but they are very lax. Just figure it as a divorce case all property and assets are community property of the couple therefore can be attached in any potential lawsuit.

Property acquired prior to marriage is separate property and remains separate unless the spouse is granted on title and contributes to the mortgage payments from community funds, then they acquire an interest in that separate property in proportion to their contributions. Paying insurance taxes, utilities is not considered a basis to make the property community.
You can refinance your property if a bank agrees to refinance your property. If they find out you are separated, they could choose not to lend you more money.
Forclosure only affects the specific property that is under contract. If you have other assets they are not in jeopardy during forclosure. On the other hand, a lending institution may initiate a lawsuit to capture remaining loss. Banks are in the business of LENDING money, not giving it away. By law, they are to seek whatever means available to recover the money they loan to you. They have an obligation to repay THEIR lenders, which are the people who deposit money to the bank in hopes of getting an investment type return. So, back to your question: The bank will complete forclosure first to get the property back. You'll have an opportunity to move your personal property out of the "Real" property before forclosure, but if you wait too long they will dispose of your personal property in a way that is most efficient for them. Then they will sell the property in hopes of recovering whatever money is owned on the original loan. If they don't recover enough to pay back the money that you borrowed they may initiate a lawsuit to get the REST of that money, depening on whether they perceive that such a lawsuit might be effective.
Very simply, it is a lawsuit that seeks money in return for the wrong the defendant is alleged to have done. The most common example is a car accident case where the plaintiff seeks a money judgment for pain and suffering and reimbursement of medical expenses. This type of lawsuit is distinguished from one seeking what is called "equitable relief". This type of lawsuit asks the court to make the defendant do something he/she was obligated to do, or set aside a will, or oder a property partitioned and other types of things other than just giving money.
Generally, no. Unless the other spouse contributed money or labor toward improvements.
