hen Helen Jones' husband Carl passed away, she faced a challenge in claiming ownership of the three parcels of real estate they had purchased together during their marriage. As community property, these assets were jointly owned by both spouses. However, proving her ownership rights was crucial to avoid any potential disputes or complications.

    To establish her claim, Helen needed to provide documentation and evidence that clearly showed her husband's death and her marital status at the time of his passing. This might include a copy of Carl's death certificate, their marriage certificate, and records of property purchases made during their marriage.

    By gathering these essential documents, Helen could demonstrate her entitlement to ownership of the real estate parcels and avoid any potential issues with inheritance or property transfer.
