Community property in Idaho

Idaho is a community-property state under Idaho Code §32-906 et seq.. Assets you and your spouse acquire during the marriage are presumed to be community property, owned 50/50, regardless of whose name is on the title. Adds an Article VI: Community Property Provisions covering classification of community vs. separate property, the surviving spouse's one-half interest, federal IRC §1014(b)(6) double-stepped-up basis, and record-keeping for traced contributions.

When you fund a revocable trust with community property, both spouses should sign as settlors so the character of the property doesn't change.
