Epstein Credit is a form of reimbursement. A spouse who pays community expenses or community debts after separation with his or her post separation money may receive a reimbursement for the other spouse's one-half share of that expense or debt.
More case specific information needed to evaluate Epstein and Watts credits.

If my answer is "BEST ANSWER" and/or "HELPFUL" please acknowledge and mark it so. I appreciate your comments and feedback. I have more than 25 years of successful legal experience with cases like yours. My response is often general in nature because all facts are unknown to me. Specific answers require knowledge of all the relevant facts of your case.
Timely wrier notice? That's only for hearings. Credits are possible issues for the final division of property, which can be agreed upon or asserted at a trial.
This is general advice. You are anonymous. If you PM me I won’t know what it’s about. I don't use a Chatbot to draft my posts. Chatbots are way nicer than I am. I'm an actual human, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. You may wish to try using a Chatcot yourself.
It's not a specialty.
This is really not an estate planning issue. You need to be consulting with a family law litigation attorney who has experience with Epstein credits and Watts charges. Its kind of a mini specialization area.
The foregoing does not constitute legal advice and no attorney client relationship has been formed between us. Please understand that other attorneys may have entirely different opinions especially if there are additional facts not disclosed here. Thank you.

Family Law Attorney in Campbell, CAThank you for your response. I do know the legal definition of Epstein credits. However, I need to know whether a written notice of intent to seek reimbursement is required or not? In other words, my question is about notice itself. I cannot find any legal authority of "notice" not even in local rules of court.
