This chapter may be cited as the Alaska Community Property Act.
A spouse shall act in good faith with respect to the other spouse in matters involving community property. The obligation under this section may not be varied by a community property agreement or a community property trust.
This chapter shall be applied and construed to effectuate its general purpose and to make uniform the law with respect to the subject of this chapter among states enacting it.
If a community property agreement provides that all property acquired by either or both spouses during marriage is community property, at the death of a spouse domiciled in this state, property of the spouse that can be traced to property received by the spouse after the determination date as a recovery for a loss of earning capacity during marriage shall be treated as if it were community property.
(a) While both spouses are domiciled in this state, spouses may classify any or all of their property as community property in a community property agreement.
(b) Whether or not both, one, or neither is domiciled in this state, spouses may classify any or all of their property as community property by transferring property to a community property trust and providing in the trust that the property is community property.
Except as provided in AS 34.77.010 , 34.77.070(h), 34.77.080(b), and 34.77.090(c), a community property agreement or a community property trust may vary the effect of this chapter.
(a) Except as provided otherwise in AS 34.77.110 , mixing community property with property having another classification reclassifies the other property as community property unless the component of the mixed property that is not community property can be traced.
(b) If a community property agreement provides that all property acquired by either or both spouses during marriage is community property, application by one spouse of substantial labor, effort, inventiveness, physical skill, intellectual skill, creativity, or managerial activity on individual property of the other spouse creates community property attributable to the application if
(1) reasonable compensation is not received for the application; and
(2) substantial appreciation of the individual property of the other spouse results from the application.
(a) Upon the death of a spouse, one-half of the aggregate value of the community property owned by the spouses and by any community property trust established by the spouses reflects the share of the surviving spouse and the other one-half reflects the share of the decedent.
(b) Upon the death of a spouse, the deceased spouse's personal representative and the trustee of a community property trust each have the power to distribute community property in divided or undivided interests and to adjust resulting differences in valuation. A distribution of community property in kind may be made on the basis of a non pro rata division of the aggregate value of the community property, on the basis of a pro rata division of each individual item or asset of community property, or by using both methods.
(c) Notwithstanding (a) and (b) of this section, spouses may agree in writing to divide their community property on the basis of a non pro rata division of the aggregate value of the community property or on the basis of a pro rata division of each individual item or asset of community property, or by using both methods.
(a) A spouse acting alone may not give to a third person community property that the spouse has the right to manage and control unless the value of the community property given to the third person does not aggregate more than $1,000 in a calendar year, or a larger amount if, when made, the gift is reasonable in amount considering the economic position of the spouses.
(b) A gift of community property to a third person that is not allowed under (a) of this section is subject to (d) of this section unless both spouses act together in making the gift or the other spouse ratifies the gift.
(c) Reporting any part of a gift made by the other spouse on a United States gift tax return under 26 U.S.C. 2501 - 2524 or consenting to the treatment of a gift under 26 U.S.C. 2513 (Internal Revenue Code) by signing the consent on the other spouse's United States gift tax return is treated as the spouses acting together in making the gift.
(d) If a gift of community property by a spouse does not comply with (a) of this section, the other spouse may bring the action against the donating spouse, the recipient of the gift, or both. The action must be commenced within the earlier of one year after the other spouse has notice of the gift or three years after the gift. If the recovery occurs during marriage, it is community property. If the recovery occurs after a dissolution or the death of either spouse, the recovery may not exceed one-half of the value of the gift and is individual property.
(a) A spouse has a claim against the other spouse for breach of the good faith requirement under AS 34.77.010 resulting in damage to the claimant spouse's present undivided one-half interest in community property.
(b) If the spouses have signed a community property agreement or a community property trust, a court may order an accounting of the property and obligations of the spouses and may determine rights of ownership in, beneficial enjoyment of, or access to marital property and the classification of all property of the spouses.
(c) A court may order that the name of a spouse be added to community property held in the name of the other spouse alone, except
(1) a partnership interest held by the other spouse as a general partner;
(2) an interest in a professional corporation, professional association, or similar entity held by the other spouse as a stockholder or member;
(3) an asset of an unincorporated business if the other spouse is the only spouse involved in operating or managing the business; or
(4) other property if the addition would adversely affect the rights of a third person.
(d) Except as provided otherwise in AS 34.77.050 (d), a spouse must begin an action against the other spouse under (a) of this section within three years after acquiring actual knowledge of the facts giving rise to the claim.
(a) Notice of the existence of a community property agreement, a community property trust, a marriage, or the termination of a marriage does not affect the status of a purchaser as a bona fide purchaser.
(b) Community property purchased by a bona fide purchaser from a spouse having the right to manage and control the property under AS 34.77.040 is acquired free of any claim of the other spouse. The effect of this subsection may not be varied by a community property agreement or a community property trust.
(c) In this section,
(1) 'bona fide purchaser' means a purchaser of property for value who has not knowingly been a party to fraud or illegality affecting the interest of the spouses or other parties to the transaction, does not have notice of an adverse claim by a spouse, and has acted in the transaction in good faith; in this paragraph, a purchaser gives 'value' for property if the property is acquired
(A) in return for a binding commitment to extend credit;
(B) as security for or in total or partial satisfaction of a preexisting claim;
(C) by accepting delivery under a preexisting contract for purchase; or
(D) in return for other consideration sufficient to support a contract;
(2) 'purchaser' means a person who acquires property by sale, lease, discount, negotiation, mortgage, pledge, or lien, or otherwise deals with property in a voluntary transaction other than making a gift.
(a) [Repealed, Sec. 6 ch 80 SLA 2001].
(b) After the determination date, a spouse's obligation to satisfy a duty of support owed to the other spouse or to a child of the marriage may be satisfied only from community property and the other property of the obligated spouse that is not community property.
(c) [Repealed, Sec. 6 ch 80 SLA 2001].
(d) [Repealed, Sec. 6 ch 80 SLA 2001].
(e) [Repealed, Sec. 6 ch 80 SLA 2001].
(f) This chapter does not alter the relationship between spouses and their creditors with respect to property or an obligation in existence before the determination date.
(g) A writing that is signed by a creditor and that reduces a creditor's rights under this section is binding on the creditor.
(h) A provision of a community property agreement or a community property trust does not adversely affect the interest of a creditor unless the creditor has actual knowledge of the provision when the obligation to the creditor is incurred. The effect of this subsection may not be varied by a community property agreement or a community property trust.
(i) This chapter does not affect an exemption provided under other law for the property of spouses.
(j) An obligation incurred by only one spouse before or during marriage may be satisfied only from the property of that spouse that is not community property and from that spouse's interest in community property. This subsection does not apply to an obligation described in (b) of this section.
(k) An obligation incurred during marriage by both spouses may be satisfied from property of each spouse that is not community property and from the community property.
(a) Spouses may hold community property in a form that designates the holders of it by the words '(name of one spouse) or (name of other spouse) as community property.' Community property held in this form is subject to AS 34.77.040 (a)(6).
(b) Spouses may hold community property in a form that designates the holder of it by the words '(name of one spouse) and (name of other spouse) as community property.' Community property held in this form is subject to AS 34.77.040 (b).
(c) A spouse may hold individual property in a form that designates the holder of it by the words '(name of spouse) as individual property.' Individual property held in this form is subject to AS 34.77.040(a)(1).
(d) Spouses may hold property in any other form permitted by law, including a concurrent form or a form that provides for survivorship ownership.
(e) If the words 'survivorship community property' are used instead of the words 'community property' in the form described in (a) or (b) of this section, the community property is survivorship community property. On the death of a spouse, the ownership rights of that spouse in survivorship community property vest solely in the surviving spouse by nontestamentary disposition at death. The first deceased spouse does not have a right of disposition at death of any interest in survivorship community property. Holding community property in a form described in (a) or (b) of this section does not by itself establish survivorship ownership between the spouses for the property held in that form.
(a) A spouse acting alone may manage and control
(1) that spouse's property that is not community property;
(2) except as provided in (c) of this section, community property held in that spouse's name alone or not held in the name of either spouse;
(3) a policy of insurance if that spouse is designated as the owner on the records of the issuer of the policy;
(4) the rights of an employee under an arrangement for deferred employment benefits that accrue as a result of that spouse's employment;
(5) a claim for relief vested in that spouse by other law;
(6) community property held in the names of both spouses in the alternative, including using the names of both spouses with the word 'or.'
(b) Spouses may not manage and control community property held in the names of both spouses other than in the alternative unless they act together.
(c) The right to manage and control community property that is transferred to a trust, including property that is community property under the trust, is determined by the terms of the trust.
(d) The right to manage and control community property does not determine the classification of property of the spouses and does not rebut the presumption of AS 34.77.030 (b).
(e) The right to manage and control community property does not permit gifts of the property, except to the extent provided in AS 34.77.050 .
(f) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in a community property agreement or a community property trust, the right to manage and control the property of spouses is not affected by this chapter if the property is acquired before the determination date.
(g) A court may appoint a conservator or guardian to exercise a disabled spouse's right to manage and control community property.

AGREEMENT SHOULD ONLY BE SIGNED AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION. IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD SEEK COMPETENT
ADVICE.
(c) A community property agreement may not adversely affect the right of a child to support.
(d) Except as provided in AS 34.77.020 , 34.77.070(h), 34.77.080(b), and in (c) of this section, in a community property agreement, spouses may agree

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD SEEK COMPETENT
ADVICE.
(c) A community property trust may not adversely affect the right of a child to support.

(i) In addition to other transfers of property to a community property trust, property will be considered transferred to a community property trust if the property is subject to a nonprobate transfer on death under AS 13.33.101 and the community property trust is designated as the beneficiary to receive the property under the transfer.
(a) If a policy issuer makes payments or takes actions in accordance with the policy and the issuer's records, the issuer is not liable because of the payments or actions unless, at the time of the payments or actions, the issuer had actual knowledge of inconsistent provisions of a community property agreement, a community property trust, a decree relating to a community property agreement or a community property trust, or an adverse claim that is brought by a spouse, former spouse, surviving spouse, or persons claiming under a deceased spouse's disposition at death and that relates to a community property agreement or a community property trust.
(b) Except as provided in (c) - (e) of this section,
(1) the ownership interest in and proceeds of a policy that insures the life of one of the spouses and that has been classified by a community property agreement or a community property trust as community property are community property without regard to the classification of property used to pay premiums on the policy;
(2) the ownership interest in and proceeds of a policy that is owned by one spouse and that has not been classified by a community property agreement or a community property trust as community property are mixed property if all or part of a premium on the policy is paid from community property after the determination date; the community property component of the ownership interest and proceeds is the part resulting from multiplying the entire ownership interest and proceeds by a fraction that consists of a numerator that is the sum of the net premiums and portions of net premiums paid from community property and a denominator that is the sum of the net premiums paid;
(3) the ownership interest in and proceeds of a policy issued during marriage that designates the spouse of the insured as the owner are the individual property of the owner without regard to the classification of property used to pay premiums on the policy;
(4) the ownership interest in and proceeds of a policy that designates a person other than either of the spouses as the owner are not affected by this chapter if a premium on the policy is not paid from community property after the determination date; if all or part of a premium on the policy is paid from community property after the determination date, the ownership interest and proceeds of the policy are in part property of the designated owner of the policy and in part community property of the spouses without regard to the classification of property used to pay premiums on the policy after the initial payment of a premium on the policy from community property; the community property component of the ownership interest and proceeds is the part resulting from multiplying the entire ownership interest and proceeds by a fraction that consists of a numerator that is the sum of the net premiums and portions of net premiums paid from community property and a denominator that is the sum of the net premiums paid;
(5) written consent by a spouse to the designation of another person as the beneficiary of the proceeds of a policy is effective to relinquish that spouse's interest in the ownership interest and proceeds of the policy without regard to the classification of property used by a spouse or another person to pay premiums on the policy; a designation of any of the following persons or trusts as the beneficiary of a policy is presumed to have been made with the consent of the other spouse:
(A) the other spouse or an ancestor or descendant of either spouse; or
(B) a trust, to the extent that its beneficiaries consist of one or more of the persons named in (A) of this paragraph;
(6) unless the spouses provide otherwise in a community property agreement or community property trust, designation of a trust as the beneficiary of the proceeds of a policy with a community property component does not reclassify the component;
(7) unless the spouses provide otherwise, if an irrevocable trust owns a life insurance policy insuring the life of one spouse and the spouse whose life is not insured by the policy is provided a beneficial interest in the trust, then, before a contribution of assets to the trust, the spouse whose life is not insured by the policy is presumed to have relinquished any community property interest that the spouse whose life is not insured by the policy may have had in the assets contributed to the trust; the presumption in this paragraph applies only to the extent that the beneficiaries of the trust consist of one or more of the following persons:
(A) the spouse whose life is not insured;
(B) an ancestor of either spouse;
(C) a descendant of either spouse;
(8) the testimony of the spouse whose life is not insured is sufficient to rebut a presumption in (5) or (7) of this subsection.

(2) 'ownership interest' means the rights of an owner under a policy;
(3) 'policy' means an insurance policy insuring the life of a spouse and providing for payment of death benefits at the spouse's death;
