Community Property with Right of Survivorship.

unless you don't want to leave the property to your spouse, hold title in a different way.

Taking title as community property with right of survivorship offers two advantages:

- avoiding formal probate when a spouse or partner dies, and

- easy qualification for a federal income tax break (for married couples only, not RDPs).
