What Is The Law?
This colymn ii prepared as a public service by the
College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to
explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal
advice. The reader is cautioned not lo apply these cases
to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for
differing facts may change the outcome.
Community Property Laws of his earnings. When he died
George and Mary Nelson in 1957 he left a 'will giving

property valued at $50,000. erty that he had owned before
During their marriage George marriage and had inherited

1957 but failed to save any All of the states surround
ing Oregon are so-called "com
munity property" states. In
such states jinost assets ac
cumulated during the mar
riage belong to each spouse
equally. Community property
laws appear to give great pro
tection to the wife and to
give legal recognition to the
oft-spoken words of proposal:
"Everything I have is yours."
Certain Exceptions
However, certain things are
excepted from community
property treatment and re
main the separate property of
the individual spouse. These
exceptions include all prop
erty acquired by either spouse
before marriage and all prop
erty acquired during marriage
by gift or inheritance. There

George held at his death were
community property.
If George and Mary lived
in Oregon, Mary would have
been well protected under
the Oregon statutes. She
would have "dower" rights in
the real property held by
George which would entitle
her to the right to possess one
half of the realty for the rest
of her life. She would also be
entitled to one-fourth of the
personalty that George owned
at his death. In Oregon, a
husband (or wife) can not
completely disinherit his
spouse.
If a husband and wife want
to hold property as ''communi
ty property" they can get
most of the characteristics of
that type of ownership by
having real property conveyed
to them as "tenants by the
entireties" and receiving per
sonal property as joint own
ers with "right of survior
ship." Full Management
Although a wife "owns"
one-hal of the' community
property, her husband has full
management and control of
the property and can deal
with it in many ways without
her consent. Community prop
erty laws raise many ques
tions concerning classification
of property as community or
separate, increase the com
plexities of taxation, and
complicate the rights of par
ties when a family moves
from the state to state.
For these reasons the Ore
gon legislature has refused to
enact communty property leg
islation except , for a -short
period when community prop
erty states enjoyed certain
federal income tax benefits.
