IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE

In California, the Grant Deed is the standard instrument for voluntary transfers of real property. Under California Civil Code § 1113, use of the word "grant" in the operative conveyancing clause implies two statutory covenants: (1) that the grantor has not previously conveyed the same estate or any interest therein to any person other than the grantee, and (2) that such estate is free from encumbrances done, made, or suffered by the grantor or any person claiming under the grantor. Unlike states that use general warranty deeds, California relies on title insurance to provide broader protection beyond the grantor's own acts. Under Civil Code § 1106, the grant deed also conveys after-acquired title by operation of law.

PART VIII — PROPOSITION 19 REASSESSMENT ADVISORY

PROPOSITION 19 — PROPERTY TAX REASSESSMENT NOTICE

Effective February 16, 2021, California Proposition 19 amended Article XIII A of the California Constitution and Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 63.1, substantially modifying the parent-child and grandparent-grandchild exclusions from reassessment. The following provisions apply to this transfer:

Parent-Child and Grandparent-Grandchild Transfers

Primary Residence Transfers:

☐ This transfer may qualify for the parent-child exclusion from reassessment under Rev. & Tax. Code § 63.1, ONLY if all of the following conditions are met:

☐ The property was the transferor's (parent's/grandparent's) principal residence

☐ The transferee (child/grandchild) will use the property as their principal residence within one (1) year of the transfer date

☐ The transferee files a Claim for Reassessment Exclusion (Form BOE-19-P or BOE-19-G) with the County Assessor within three (3) years of the transfer

☐ The current fair market value of the property does not exceed the property's factored base year value by more than $1,044,586 (2025 adjusted amount; subject to annual inflation adjustment)

Non-Primary Residence Property:

☐ This transfer involves property that is NOT the transferor's principal residence (e.g., rental property, investment property, vacation home, commercial property). Under Proposition 19, no parent-child or grandparent-grandchild exclusion is available for non-primary-residence property. The property WILL be reassessed to current fair market value upon transfer.

Other Reassessment Exclusions

Interspousal Transfer Exclusion (Rev. & Tax. Code § 63): Transfers between spouses (including transfers to a trust for the benefit of a spouse, transfers incident to divorce, and transfers upon death to a surviving spouse) are excluded from reassessment.

Registered Domestic Partner Exclusion: Transfers between registered domestic partners receive the same exclusion as interspousal transfers under Family Code § 297.5 and Rev. & Tax. Code § 62(p).

Proportional Interest Transfer (Rev. & Tax. Code § 62(a)(2)): Transfer of a proportional interest to or from a legal entity (e.g., LLC or partnership) where the proportional ownership interests remain the same.

Revocable Trust Transfer (Rev. & Tax. Code § 62(d)): Transfer to or from a revocable trust where the transferor is a present beneficiary.

PART XIV — TITLE INSURANCE ADVISORY

CALIFORNIA TITLE INSURANCE ADVISORY

In California, the Grant Deed with title insurance is the standard for real property transfers. Because the Grant Deed's implied covenants are limited to Grantor's acts only (Cal. Civ. Code § 1113), title insurance is essential to protect Grantee against:

  • Title defects arising from prior owners or predecessors in interest
  • Unknown or undisclosed liens and encumbrances
  • Forgery, fraud, or impersonation in the chain of title
  • Boundary disputes and survey discrepancies
  • Recording errors, indexing mistakes, and gaps in the public record
  • Unrecorded easements, prescriptive rights, and adverse possession claims
  • Federal and state tax liens
  • Defective or missing notary acknowledgments

☐ Grantee acknowledges that an owner's policy of title insurance has been obtained or will be obtained in connection with this transfer.

☐ Grantee has been advised to obtain title insurance and has elected NOT to obtain title insurance. Grantee understands and accepts the risks associated with an uninsured transfer.
