Estate Tax Services We Offer
While California does not have an estate or death tax, there are many other taxes that can apply to your assets after you pass away. Additionally, if your estate plan involves transferring money to a beneficiary who is at least 37 1/2 years younger than yourself, that amount may be subject to a Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax.
It is important to work towards minimizing potential estate taxes. Our estate legal services extend to helping you with your estate and inheritance taxes.
We can help you understand your options to mitigate such taxes, such as:

Gift Tax Law
You may participate in gifting assets to people, such as your children. Under current gift tax law, you can gift up to $15,000 annually per person without reporting these transfers to the IRS. You may gift higher amounts in a tax year if you file a gift tax return.
In this case, you will also use a portion of your total gift and estate tax exemption amount. Our attorneys can assist you with all aspects of your gift taxes. We can provide the legal advice you need to accurately and effectively plan for your estate and gift taxes.
Property and Real Estate Tax Planning
California typically bases property taxes on the property's purchase price, increasing each year. This can cause the taxes on a property to skyrocket when ownership of that property changes and it is reassessed to its current market value.
If you own any real property in California, our attorneys can help you with planning for property taxes. We can assist you with understanding exemptions to property tax assessment and how to utilize tax planning strategies. We are also experienced with helping businesses with the unique issues involving property owned by business entities.
