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 between Grandparent and Grandchild is transfer tax exempt in Mariposa County. This form is used for a reassessment exclusion.
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 Mariposa County Assessor to request a Completed Change in Ownership Statement.
Affidavit of Cotenant Residency
If a real property transfer from one co-tenant 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 co-tenant to claim exclusion from reassessment, which could prevent an increase in property taxes.
Transfer Tax
If your conveyance is exempt, you need the R&T Code of the applicable exemption and a brief explanation. Both are provided on this list.
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:
A grant deed is the most commonly used form for a conveyance of real property in California. This type of deed offers more protection to a buyer than a quitclaim deed, but less protection than a warranty deed.
The implied warranties in a grant deed are designed to protect the grantee (purchaser). The grant deed includes the implied warranty that the grantor has not conveyed the title or interest in the property to anyone else and that the property is free from any encumbrances done, made, or suffered by the grantor or any person claiming under him, except for any that may be specifically disclosed in the deed (CIV 1113). The main difference between a warranty deed and a grant deed is that in a warranty deed, the grantor will warrant and defend the title against the claims of all persons.
A grant deed in California requires the grantor's signature, which must also be acknowledged with a California all-purpose acknowledgement. The officer taking acknowledgements must have a certificate of acknowledgement endorsed on the deed (CIV 1188). Grant deeds submitted for recording must be accompanied by a completed Preliminary Change of Ownership Report.
All instruments that are entitled to be entered into the public record may be recorded at the office of the county clerk in the county where the property is located. Recording a grant deed allows it to serve as constructive notice of the contents to subsequent purchasers and mortgagees (CIV 1213). A grant deed in California is void as against any subsequent purchaser or mortgagee of the same real property, or part thereof, in good faith and for a valuable consideration, whose conveyance is first duly recorded, and as against any judgment affecting the title, unless the conveyance has been duly recorded prior to the record of notice of action (CIV 1214). An unrecorded grant deed is valid as between the parties to it and those who have notice of it (CIV 1217).

Review: The affidavit guidance was a great help and helped reduce the stress that usually comes with dealing with legalese. The Preliminary Change of Ownership that CA requires is quite complex since it covers a hoard of situations. I was left with a bit of uncertainty, but I definitely wouldn't want to try it without guidance.

Review: Useless for me. My deed could not be pulled. After investigation, I got a copy online directly from WV for $3. No one but editors of this will ever see this. Shame.
