What You Need to Know When a Property Owner Passes Away 🏠📄
Did you know? When a real estate owner in California passes away, the county assessor must be notified of the change in ownership within 150 days of the date of death. 🕒

Failing to file the required forms, such as the Change in Ownership Statement – Death of Real Property Owner, could result in hefty penalties and unexpected property tax increases. 😱

This filing is crucial, especially if you're planning to pass down property to heirs. Certain parent-to-child or grandparent-to-grandchild exclusions may help avoid a property tax reassessment—but only if you act on time! ✅

💡 Our office is here to help your family through this difficult time and ensure you avoid costly tax surprises. We can help you save thousands in transfer taxes, property taxes, and capital gains taxes, all while protecting your family’s assets.

📞 Contact us today for guidance and a free consultation! 408-978-7076
Together, we’ll navigate this process with care and expertise. 🙌

The Law Office of Matthew Triet Vo is thrilled to partner with the Women & Law Association at Santa Clara University School of Law for their Professional Clothing Drive! 👔👗 Professional clothing is essential for young lawyers to start their careers and make positive impressions, but it can be challenging for students to afford on top of other school expenses. That’s where we all can help!

We’re collecting new or gently used professional attire for Santa Clara law students to use during interviews, work, moot court, and other career-building experiences. Please bring your donations to our office by November 8:

📍 919 Story Rd, #1204, San Jose, CA 95122

🏡 Attention San Jose Residents: Do you know about Measure E Transfer Tax? 🏡

Did you know that Measure E, the San Jose transfer tax, has been in effect since July 1, 2020? 📅 Despite being around for a while, many people are still unaware of its implications on real estate transactions. 🏘️

Homes selling for $2 million or more in San Jose now incur an additional transfer tax on top of the city's existing transfer tax. The Measure E tax is progressive, meaning it varies based on the property's price:

$7.50 per $1,000 of transfer value for properties priced between $2 million and $5 million
$10 per $1,000 of transfer value for properties priced between $5 million and $10 million
$15 per $1,000 of transfer value for properties priced at $10 million and above.

But don't worry! The Law Office of Matthew Triet Vo can help your family navigate these tax implications for private real estate transfers. 📑

When you're planning to sell or transfer property within your family, it's crucial to consult with a real estate attorney to ensure a smooth process and understand your financial responsibilities. 🤝

If your purchase price hovers just over $2 million, there are strategies to keep it below the threshold. We can help buyers and sellers work together to save on the Measure E tax, which can be tens of thousands of dollars.📊

The luxury real estate market in San Jose remains resilient, with no significant impact reported so far. Buyers are still motivated by excellent schools and convenient commutes. 🚌✏️

Remember, in Santa Clara County, only three cities have a transfer tax: San Jose, Mountain View, and Palo Alto. The Measure E tax is unique to San Jose. 🌆

For personalized guidance on real estate transfers and taxes, contact the Law Office of Matthew Triet Vo today! 📞🏡
