Holding
The court held that when a married couple acquires real‑estate with community funds and takes title as joint tenants on or after January 1, 1975, the property is presumptively community property under Family Code § 760; the form‑of‑title presumption of Evidence Code § 662 is displaced by the community‑property presumption, and a joint‑tenancy deed alone does not effect a transmutation to separate property unless the statutory writing requirements of Family Code § 852 are satisfied. ---
