Death of a Real Property Owner

The Sanborn Team recently attended a very informative meeting with L.A. County Assessor, Rick Auerbach. During that meeting he discussed tax issues important for homeowners and what to do upon the death of a real property owner. In a nutshell……..

Death of a Real Property Owner

“The Assessor’s Office must be notified upon the death of an owner within 150 days of the date of death, or, if the estate is probated, prior to or at the time the inventory and appraisal is filed with the court clerk. The Change in Ownership Statement Death of Real Property Owner form is required to be completed and submitted to the Assessor’s Office, even if the decedent held the property in a trust. Failure to file a Change in Ownership Statement within the time prescribed by law may result in a penalty of either $100 or 10% of the taxes applicable to the new base year value of the real property or manufactured home, whichever is greater, but not to exceed $2,500 if that failure to file was not willful. This penalty is added to the assessment roll and is collected like any other delinquent property tax and subject to the same penalties for nonpayment.”

The Fiduciary's Dilemma through the Probate sale

As we watch the real estate market creep toward recovery, we see two factors driving successful sales: price and condition. The price has to be very low and the condition has to be pristine. These days, pristine means clean, painted AND updated bathrooms and kitchens.

As you may have noticed, real property sold through probate is always offered as is. That's part of the appeal of probate properties for buyers: they're often fixers. The property owner may have lived in the house for many years and deferred a certain amount of maintenance.

In today's market, when pristine sells, heirs or fiduciaries may be tempted to look for a higher price by fixing up their loved one's home. But as soon as they do more than a major cleaning, they lose the protection of some of the disclosure laws of probate.

So the fiduciary is faced with a dilemma: lose the protection of probate or drop the price to a level where the house will be noticed in a price-driven market?

We are always available to answer your questions about probate and trust sales or any aspect of the real estate market. Give us a call at 310-777-2858 and visit or website at: www.sanbornteam.com

The recent overbidding in court is a sign of our commitment to obtaining the most we can for the estates we work with.

The Sanborn Team knows South Los Angeles

The Sanborn Team knows a thing or two about properties in South Los Angeles. For over 20 years, we have sold multiple properties in and around that area.

The following LA Times article caught our attention http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/04/south-la-again-a-houseflipping-hot-spot.html It talks about foreclosures in the area and investors who are buying the properties and flipping them within six months. What the article didn’t discuss is that there are other properties for sale in South Los Angeles, that aren’t foreclosures that are also getting a lot of attention from investors and “house flippers.” Such properties are Probate Real Estate Listings.

In 2009, we started to notice that the investors were back in the market after being very quiet for a couple of years, especially in the South Los Angeles real estate market. Every probate real estate listing that we have put on the market in South Los Angeles, has been swarmed by investors, contractors and developers. And what is more interesting, is that these properties have all had multiple offers and have all sold for over-asking.

The Sanborn Team has sold over dozen properties in the South LA area in the last year alone. And we currently have five accepted offers and two with a court date of may 4th! They go quickly and usually the buyers are investors.

So the bottom line is that it isn’t just foreclosures that the investors are buying in South Los Angeles, but it’s also probate real estate listings too! For over 30 years we have been selling and marketing probate real estate in the greater Los Angeles area. We aren’t your typical real estate agent who’s a “neighborhood specialist” but we are Probate and Trust Real Estate Agents that are up to date in every market place of Los Angeles.
