Grandparent / Grandchild Exclusion
Overview
Grandparent/Grandchild Transfers that took place until February 15, 2021 were potentially eligible for exclusion from reassessment under Proposition 193 if certain conditions were met. Effective February 16, 2021, Proposition 19 changes the benefits afforded to transfers between grandparents and grandchildren.
If the transfer of property took place on or after February 16, 2021, the transfer is subject to the rules written under Prop 19. Transfers made earlier than that date are subject to the rules under Prop 193.
Please refer to the California State Board of Equalization Proposition 19 and Proposition 193 webpages for more information.
