Help From Property Tax Specialists – Bridging the Wealth Gap

Important cities responsible for growing jobs and driving opportunities that generate revenue for consumers, such as Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Long Beach and Anaheim – have all experienced population shrinkage since 2020, due in part to shrinking real estate possibilities as well as unreliable employment, fluctuating sales conditions and unstable economic conditions overall.

Some financial services companies are looking to help reverse this trend and contribute to building a more positive economic and business environment for residents to thrive in, rather than struggle in.

Contributing time and effort towards helping beneficiaries that are inheriting property yet are in danger of falling prey to increased property taxes and limitations to property tax breaks – some financial services companies include middle class and upper middle class families in their suite of services, as opposed to just focusing on wealthy families as many investment, lending and wealth management firms do.

Examples of property tax professionals who are more open to helping middle class Californians are specialists like Advanced Tax & Estate Planning, Trust Administration attorney Rachelle Lee-Warner, at Cunningham Legal or Estate & Trust Lending firm Commercial Loan Corp – all who do in fact include middle and upper middle class families in their wide range of property tax services. 

These firms, and others, are now seeking broad, proactive ways to reach and assist middle class and upper middle class homeowners and beneficiaries expecting to inherit business property or a home from parents, yet find themselves to be victims of financial bias… unable to enlist the help of high-end property tax experts due to their middle class, or rather non-wealthy, financial status.

Free Property Tax Savings Estimate & Consultation

To help preserve net worth for middle class families, the trust lending firm mentioned above recently decided to offer a free consultation & estimate for property tax savings to California middle class and upper middle class homeowners and beneficiaries, as well as affluent residents, all who want to avoid property tax reassessment by keeping parent’s low property tax base… locking in the same low tax rate their parents enjoyed.

Property tax firms are looking to help residents work around obstacles associated with a Proposition 19 parent to child property tax transfer on an inherited home, and is well known for providing ways to save new homeowners and heirs of estates and trusts thousands of dollars in annual property taxes. They are also assisting beneficiaries with applications for trust loans to buyout siblings that are also inheriting property but wish to sell their shares.

This type of consultation helps residents to evaluate, in-depth, the benefit of a loan to an irrevocable trust, and various financial options associated with property tax transfers in California – plus buying out co-beneficiary siblings who are looking to sell their share of an inherited property. Moreover, going through a trust lender  you trust; keeping your parent’s low property tax base when inheriting a home

Firms like Commercial Loan Corp work with families to help them preserve their modest financial security; alongside their attorney, accountant or property tax consultant; and assist family members and beneficiaries by helping them avoid property tax reassessment at current market rates, and determine through in-depth consultation how much a family can expect to save on property taxes,

On average this saves more than $6,200 per year, per beneficiary; as well as weighing costs and benefits of a trust loan working alongside Proposition 58 – now for all intensive purposes having morphed into Proposition 19. This enables a simple buyout of inherited property from co-beneficiaries, providing them with more money than an outside buyer would furnish them with; while keeping parents’ low property tax base.

Thaddeus Farrell, Account Manager at Commercial Loan Corp, offers an Insider’s Viewpoint on Estate & Trust Lending

We guide beneficiaries through a process that will maintain their parents’ low property tax base. Usually siblings that want to retain inherited property from parents come to us first, generally after being referred to us by a law firm. Middle class families that can’t afford to pay reassessed taxes on an inherited home… Which pretty much sums up most families these days…

… property reassessment can cripple a family financially. I look at it like this – expenses are a part of life, and when you inherit a family home, if the property is reassessed at current rates, those expenses will usually go sky high. Most middle class people can’t afford to pay that type of tax hike. They want to take advantage of Proposition 19 and a trust loan, transferring CA Property Taxes from a Parent to an Heir tax break, to avoid property tax reassessment, and move into an inherited home within a year as a principle residence, which was their parents’ principle residence formerly protected by Proposition 58 and Prop 13.

Siblings inheriting a home have two options. They can sell or keep their inherited property. In other words, your family has to make up their mind – what they want to do, sell or keep. Selling it is far more expensive. By keeping the home, each beneficiary receives approximately $15,000 extra in a cash trust distribution when compared to selling the home because they avoid costly realtor and real estate sale expenses. The child beneficiary keeping the inherited home winds up saving on average $6,200 in yearly property taxes.”
