What is a revocable living trust?
A type of trust that can be terminated by the settlor (the opposite of an irrevocable trust). The person creating the trust is the beneficiary of the trust as well as the trustee of the trust. Also called an inter vivos trust.
What is community property?
Texas is one of nine community property states. Generally, all property acquired during a marriage is considered the community property of both spouses. Generally, property owned prior to marriage, acquired by gift, inheritance, or recovered for personal injuries is not community property when acquired during the marriage. If a Texas couple acquires property in a non-community property state, it is considered separate property even if titled in the names of both spouses.
What is joint tenancy with right of surviroship (JTWROS)?

In order for the right of survivorship to carry, the joint owners must have agreed, in writing, that the ownership interest shall survive to the surviving joint owner.
