It will depend on the wording of the document. It is very possible to make a gift of one spouse's separate property to the other spouse as separate property, or of community property to one spouse as their separate property. A writing is required, which you have, but it also must clearly show intent to commute the property from separate to the other spouse's separate, or from community to the other spouse's separate. It doesn't have to have those magic words, but it must show that intent.
