How does separate property differ from community property in estate planning?
Separate property includes assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritance during marriage, while community property consists of assets acquired together during marriage. This distinction affects how assets are distributed in estate plans and can help preserve individual inheritances or gifts independently of shared marital assets.
