Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Parent-Child property tax exemption.
My father passed away in 1997; my brother and I are sole heirs (50-50). The will has not been
probated. Apparently the parent-child exemption for property tax transfer has a time limit of three years. If we probate the will, is there any way we can still get the exemption? Are there any
exceptions or precedents for getting an exception to this? Or would we have to have the house
reappraised? Would back property taxes be due? I live overseas, so getting information is not all that
easy.
