Community Property in a Nutshell

The community property system is only in effect in about 9 states - but they are some of the largest - including CA, TX and WA. These nutshells are invaulabe in getting to the heart of black letter law, and helping better understand the history, case law and nuances of the legal development. The book itself is an easy read, with very good state by state breakdowns and references describing each of the major elements of community property law, as well as articulating many differences state to state, as well as civil to common. Worth reading and keeping as a reference if you need to know this stuff.
