Parent-Child and Grandparent-Grandchild Exclusions San Diego
Transferring property by selling or gifting it to someone can have major tax implications, especially when it's done between a parent and child or grandparent and grandchild. Our estate planning attorneys can advise you on the best course of action for transferring property so you can avoid tax pitfalls.
How We Help You With Property Transfers
Our legal advice is comprehensive and includes even the more personal aspects of property transfers, such as planning for the transferor’s financial needs and the responsibilities of the transferee. We’ll counsel you on the change in ownership rules and applicable exclusions from reassessment.
Understanding the Terminology
If you’re considering getting legal help from an attorney, here are some of the common terms to familiarize yourself with:
Property Deed
A property deed is a legal document that proves who owns the property. When there’s a transfer of ownership, the deed is the document used to officially complete the transaction.
Property
In legal terms, property refers to land (including unimproved land) and anything that’s permanently attached to it, such as a home or other structures.
Title
Refers to someone’s legal ownership of property. For example, a property owner may be referred to as “holding title” to the property, meaning they own it and can legally use it as they wish. Although title is suppported by a deed, the term itself refers to ownership and not a physical document.

Our Clients Say It Best
I had the pleasure of working with Hilary Vrem during a family probate case. It was a difficult time for me as I was dealing with a loss in the family and needed assistance tackling the legal process. She provided me with a clear understanding of what to expect and guided me through my best options and next steps. She went above and beyond throughout our correspondence. I would happily recommend BJJ, their attorneys, and Hilary to friends and family who are dealing with a similar situation.
