There is a lot of chaos with home buyers finding homeowner insurance options in California now.

Here is a general outline of what has been provided to insurance agents looking for guidance...

Homes with a replacement cost of two million dollars and above are going to be the hardest to place. There are only two carriers actively writing in California (CHUBB AND PURE) and they will require full packages. (Home, auto & umbrella)

Homes with a replacement cost of two million dollars and above that are DECLINED by CHUBB/PURE due to location, claims history or lack of updates will have to be placed with non-admitted carriers such as Lloyd’s of London, Scottsdale, Azguard, Vault etc.

Homes with a replacement cost under two million dollars still have more options. We have had success with Safeco, Mercury, Hartford, CIG, American Modern etc.

Occupancy status is going to make a huge difference. Carriers are leaving space for primary homes. Secondary homes and investment properties will also likely have to be placed with non-admitted insurance carriers.

Homes with lack of updates in hard locations can be placed with the California Fair Plan. California Fair Plan is the insurer of last resort but it IS an option if all other carriers decline.

As more and more Californians find out what has happened, anger is growing.

Parents should be able to transfer property to their children without triggering reassessment to current market value and a huge tax increase.

For more than 30 years, they could. It was a right enshrined in the California constitution. But now, it’s gone.

That constitutional right was removed by Proposition 19 in 2020, a measure that seemed to be only about helping wildfire victims and seniors. Hidden in the fine print was the biggest property tax increase in state history, on the backs of people who have just lost a parent.

Under Prop. 19, property transferred from parents to children is reassessed to current market value, with only limited exceptions. Grieving families find out about it in a letter from the assessor’s office that arrives in the mail along with the sympathy cards.

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is taking action. They are now collecting signatures for a new ballot measure that restores the right of parents to transfer property to their children without a tax increase. And you can help.

Print and sign the official petition RIGHT NOW at www.RepealTheDeathTax.com

The official petition to get this measure on the ballot can be printed using any printer, on ordinary letter-sized paper. Do it right now. Just go to www.RepealTheDeathTax.com and click (or tap) the “Download the petition” link. It’s easy — complete instructions are included, and there’s even a clip-and-tape mailing label that you can use to send the signed petition back to the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Please don’t delay! Time is limited to collect the signatures needed to get this measure on the November 2024 ballot. Go to www.RepealTheDeathTax.com now to download the petition.

When approved by voters, the Repeal the Death Tax initiative will restore the parent-child property transfer rules that allowed parents to pass their home and up to $1 million of assessed value of other property to their kids without any change to the tax bill. And it is retroactive. Anyone whose property was reassessed for a parent-child transfer will be able to get the previous assessed value reinstated.

Please spread the word! Forward this to friends and family.

Send the www.RepealTheDeathTax.com link to everyone you know. Post it on social media. If at least 1.2 million signatures are collected no later than January 16, this measure will be on the November 2024 ballot.

All parents should have the right to build financial security for their children without taxes taking it all away. Protect your family’s future. Sign the petition to Repeal the Death Tax.

Thank you!!

Protecting Prop. 13 for our children.
