Chapter 2. Gift Tax›Article 1. Definitions
§ 15104.2. Transfer of Community Property into Joint Tenancy, or Vice Versa.
California Code of Regulations, Title 18 — Division 2.5. State Controller · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-05 · California
A transfer or conversion of community property into a joint tenancy between the spouses does not constitute a gift. The same is true as to a transfer or conversion of joint tenancy property owned by a husband and wife into their community where both spouses made equal contributions to the joint tenancy.
Where there are unequal contributions made to real property held by a husband and wife in joint tenancy, created on or after September 11, 1957 and before January 1, 1981, see Sections 15104.50 and 15104.51.
