It becomes community property if the inheritance money is intermingled with jointly owned money such as a married couples joint bank account. In that case the inheritance becomes jointly owned by both spouses.
A joint will is one will for two people, often for a married couple, which acts as a last will and testament for both. It has specific rules, often stated in the will itself, which include that after the first spouse dies, that spouses entire estate goes to the surviving spouse.
Both spouses need to have a Will because even though the surviving spouse will become the outright owner of the property, they will need a Will to direct its disposition after their death. Since its impossible to predict which spouse will pass away first, having a Will is crucial for both individuals.
