Still "Community property" for CA couple purchasing out of state?
As I understand it, since CA is a community property state, any property purchased once married is considered to be owned by both spouses. Though I'm curious about the case when buying a property in a non-community property state.
I know if the property is in CA, you can take title as "Community property with right of survivorship" on the deed. But in a non-community property state, how does a CA married couple take title on an out-of-state property? Can they still have the deed say "Community property with right of survivorship" or would they have to use "Joint tenancy with right of survivorship"? Are the title options dependent solely based on the state where the property is located in?
