Legal Question in Family Law in California

Wills and Trusts are testamentary dispositions. Wills only take effect when the testator dies. If you get divorced, the parties are still living, and your divorce will be governed by California's community property system. Generally, community property is split between the parties 50/50. I say generally, because there are all kinds of intricate rules for classifying community property, separate property, and property with mixed characteristics.
