Washington Law Review

Abstract

Under Washington law the marital property rights of a couple who moves to Washington are treated differently than those of a native couple. The author traces the source and effects of this practice, examines possible common law solutions, and recommends adoption of a "quasicommunity property" statute, similar to the successful California statute which gives the migratory spouse protection and inheritance tax treatment comparable to that of the native spouse.
