Legal Community of Property

A jurisdiction where the law imposes community property principles on the spouses’ property automatically upon marriage. Most jurisdictions, though, allow parties to opt out of community property laws through a prenuptial agreement or postnuptial agreement. This differs from the traditional Spanish form that allowed parties to opt into community property laws. This term is now archaic.
