Proposition 19 Mitigation and Property Tax Planning
California Proposition 19 radically altered the landscape of intergenerational real estate transfers by eliminating traditional parent-child property tax exclusions for non-primary residences. Inheriting family homes or rental portfolios without an appropriate trust strategy can trigger catastrophic property tax reassessments. Attorney Kurt D. Elkins advises homeowners and property investors on strategic estate vehicles, entity structuring, and trust drafting designed to preserve low Proposition 13 tax bases whenever permissible under California revenue codes.

Beyond traditional testamentary planning, the firm acts as a reliable resource for residential and commercial real estate transactions, boundary easements, neighbor disputes, and land use regulations. For entrepreneurs and family business owners, attorney Elkins drafts robust buy-sell agreements, structures multi-member LLCs for liability protection, and creates business succession plans that prevent disruptive probate intervention.
