It's federal, not state.

When the first spouse dies the surviving spouse gets a 1/2 step up.

oohYeah

This is not true if it is CP.

Jeremy

If CP, then full fair market value on the date of the spouse's death

2001 CA law: JTWROS= 50% step up and CPWROS=100% step up. JT is not community

You seem to have a good understanding of what CA law is right up to the point

What document are you referring to? I don't see a document posted besides the

The document that says the property is held as joint tenants

This is wrong.
