§ 21111 Spousal Property Control Rights

• •If you're married and give something to your spouse, they can use it however they want.
• •Your spouse doesn’t have to explain how they used it or share it with anyone else.
• •This rule is about stuff like money, property, or things that make money (like rent).

A husband gives his wife a rental house as a gift.

The wife can keep all the rent money for herself and doesn’t have to tell anyone how she spends it. She doesn’t even have to share it with her husband’s family or estate.
