Güterstand meaning

[Feierabend]

Hello, we are selling a property and the solicitor has asked ,
In welchem Güterstand sind Sie verheiratet sehr geehrte Veräußerer?
I believe this refers to the matrimonial property regime, and as we own everything jointly and have never made any other legal arrangements, I think we are in a Zuwinngemeinschaft. Could someone kindly confirm? Thank you.

Deutsch:
(1) Die Ehegatten leben im Güterstand der Zugewinngemeinschaft, wenn sie nicht durch Ehevertrag etwas anderes vereinbaren.

Translated with Google Translate:
(1) The spouses live in the property regime of the accrued community unless they agree otherwise in a marriage contract.

Zugewinngemeinschaft is the default. As you haven't done any other written arrangement, this is it.

It's worth noting you can create a marriage contract at any point during the marriage. Me and my wife created one after agreeing to divorce.

Thank you all.
I have replied that to my understanding.we're in a Zugewinngemeinschaft as we haven't made any alternative legal örovision.
