Trustees and Executors Beware: Proposition 19 Supplemental Property Tax Bills and Escape Property Tax Bills Are Coming Post Sale! Ensure to Account For These Bills Prior To Distributions.
Simply put, absent an exclusion, an inherited property is subject to reassessment as of date of death. If the property is sold to a third party prior to the Assessor being notified of the death (which is often the case), then the Estate will receive the supplemental assessment and any escape assessments from the date of death until the date they sell the property, often long after the property is sold.

Proposition 19 Repeal Efforts Fall Short For November Ballot Initiative
Efforts to repeal Proposition 19’s costly Death Tax On Inherited Property have fallen short for the November ballot initiative. Over 402,000 signatures were obtained to repeal those provisions of Prop 19 which wiped out former Propositions 58 and 193 (those propositions allowed parents to transfer their ‘prop 13 basis’ or ‘proposition 13 basis’ to their children; now no longer due to Prop 19’s changes, thus causing a substantial ‘death tax’ on California inherited property).
