Gilfix Alert: Prop 19 (Property Tax Increases) Repeal Unsuccessful - What now?

Free Webinars on solutions: 5/18 at 1pm and 6pm

Register for 1pm here.

Register for 6pm here.

The Taxpayers Association gathering signatures to place the repeal of Proposition 19 on the November ballot did not collect enough signatures. This means that Proposition 19 will remain law. We are offering 2 free webinars on the implications of this – see below for registration info. 

While Proposition 19 had some attractive elements, the impact on inherited real property is simply devastating for families who own property, especially families with special needs children. This law can cause property *tax increases of $10s of thousands per year* for inherited properties, reaching hundreds of thousands, or even millions in increased property taxes over time.   

As our readers know, we did not expect a repeal effort to be successful.   

Instead, we worked very hard to develop an approach that will enable property owners to retain current property tax levels in most situations for the next generations.   

Michael Gilfix and Mark Gilfix will offer 2 Free Webinars on this subject as part of our new “Weekly Webinar Series”, starting on Wednesday, May 18th. 

In these critical free webinars, we will cover:

• The basics of Prop 19 – the benefits to those who wish to move within the state of California
• The massive property tax increases Prop 19 will cause for families who wish to retain California    properties for future generations, with specific examples of how it works
• Solutions: How Gilfix & La Poll can help you and your family to avoid these massive property tax increases
