*The Following California and Merced County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Preliminary Change of Ownership
This is a required form, due at the time of recording. There is a $20.00 penalty fee for non-compliance.
Parent to Child Exclusion
A real property transfer from parent to child is exempt from transfer tax. This form is used for a reassessment exclusion, which could prevent an increase in property taxes.
Grandparent to Grandchild Exclusion
A real property transfer from grandparent to grandchild is exempt from transfer tax. This form is used for a reassessment exclusion, which could prevent an increase in property taxes.
Change in Ownership Statement - Death of Real Property Owner
This form is used by the personal representative of the deceased property owner, who files this statement with the county assessor to request a Completed Change in Ownership Statement.
Affidavit of Cotenant Residency
If a real property transfer from one cotenant to the other is the result of the death of one of them, the transfer may not constitute a change in ownership, provided it meets the criteria listed on the form. This form is used by the surviving cotenant to claim exclusion from reassessment, which could prevent an increase in property taxes.
Transfer Tax Affidavit
The affidavit is a required form, used to either claim an exemption or to calculate transfer tax if due. The exemptions are listed on pages 3 and 4 of the form.
Homeowners Exemption
Use these forms to claim or cancel a homeowners’ exemption if the real property is transferred or becomes/ceases to be the primary residence.
Building Homes and Job Act
The state of California has recently enacted the Building Homes and Jobs Act, effective January 1, 2018.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by California notaries.
Including:
Use the disclaimer to renounce an interest in real property in California.
A beneficiary in California can disclaim a bequeathed asset or power. For a complete list, see Probate Code 267. A disclaimer, which must be in writing and signed by the beneficiary, allows that beneficiary to renounce his or her interest in the property. California statutes allow for the partial rejection of the interest, which must be clearly identified on the disclaimer.
Besides the beneficiary, state the name of the creator of the interest, as well as the next beneficiary to whom the interest will pass, e.g., the next person in line to inherit. In the case of real property, give the entire legal description of the land and provide recording information for the prior deed in order to avoid any problems in the chain of title.
A disclaimer is irrevocable and binding for anyone who makes a claim against the beneficiary, for example, potential creditors. It must be received within nine months after the decedent's death, the transfer, or the 21st birthday of the beneficiary (Probate Code 279) and is only valid if no actions have indicated acceptance of the property.
It must be filed with any of the following entities according to Probate Code 280(a): the superior court in the county where the estate is administered; the representative of the deceased or executor of the estate; the creator of the interest; or "any other person having custody or possession of or legal title to the interest." When in doubt as to the drawbacks and benefits of renouncing the property, consult with an attorney.
