@ Frank, Hi, in the reference box you mentioned the Austrian legal system. You are right - The statutory legal matrimonial property regime is that of separation of property. However, there may be other possibilities with regimes regulated by contracts.
---
The spouses have the possibility of agreeing, via a marriage contract, to a different matrimonial property regime than the legally-provided separation of property.
...
As alternative forms of matrimonial property regime Austrian law provides the community of property and the contract of inheritance. However, the spouses do not have to restrict themselves to these in their choice of a matrimonial property regime.
With regard to the community of property regime, two forms have to be distinguished: the legally unregulated community of property inter vivos and the community of property in the event of death. etc.
