Question: 1 / 400

How does Community Property ownership differ from Tenancy by the Entirety?

Equal ownership interest by spouses

Right of survivorship is automatic

No right of survivorship

Community Property ownership and Tenancy by the Entirety both allow for ownership of property between spouses. However, unlike Tenancy by the Entirety, Community Property does not offer the right of survivorship. This means that in the event of one spouse's death, the other spouse does not automatically inherit their share of the property. Instead, the deceased spouse's share may be distributed according to their will or through the probate process. Additionally, in Community Property, both spouses have equal ownership interest and can manage and sell the property individually, while in Tenancy by the Entirety, both spouses must agree on any decisions regarding the property.
