More and more states are enacting opt in community property laws so that if assets are characterized as community property on death, a step-up in basis occurs on one hundred percent of the assets on the first spouse’s death. But many practitioners and clients are not familiar with the intricacies of these laws and how to characterize assets as community or separate property including when someone leaves a community property state or moves into a community property state. The distinction between community property vs. separate property affects virtually every aspect of a client’s estate plan and what happens to assets on death as well as divorce.
