Property transfers

Parent to child exclusion

Request a free consultation for a property transfer

The exclusion still exists, and it is narrower than most people remember.

California once allowed a broad exclusion from reassessment for transfers between parents and children. It was substantially narrowed, and now turns largely on whether the child makes the property their principal residence, with a cap above which reassessment applies anyway.

Whether a transfer qualifies is decided on facts that can often be arranged in advance, and almost never after the fact.

What this involves

  • Whether a transfer qualifies
  • The principal residence requirement
  • The value cap and how it is applied
  • Claim forms and their deadlines
