Alaska Statutes.
Title 34. Property
Chapter 77. Community Property Act
Section 110. Forms of Holding Property.
previous: Section 100. Community Property Trust.
next: Section 120. Classification of Life Insurance Policies and Proceeds.

AS 34.77.110. Forms of Holding Property.

(a) Spouses may hold community property in a form that designates the holders of it by the words "(name of one spouse) or (name of other spouse) as community property." Community property held in this form is subject to AS 34.77.040 (a)(6).

(b) Spouses may hold community property in a form that designates the holder of it by the words "(name of one spouse) and (name of other spouse) as community property." Community property held in this form is subject to AS 34.77.040 (b).

(c) A spouse may hold individual property in a form that designates the holder of it by the words "(name of spouse) as individual property." Individual property held in this form is subject to AS 34.77.040(a)(1).

(d) Spouses may hold property in any other form permitted by law, including a concurrent form or a form that provides for survivorship ownership.

(e) If the words "survivorship community property" are used instead of the words "community property" in the form described in (a) or (b) of this section, the community property is survivorship community property. On the death of a spouse, the ownership rights of that spouse in survivorship community property vest solely in the surviving spouse by nontestamentary disposition at death. The first deceased spouse does not have a right of disposition at death of any interest in survivorship community property. Holding community property in a form described in (a) or (b) of this section does not by itself establish survivorship ownership between the spouses for the property held in that form.
