Annotation 200.0076

200.0076 Owner. A minor may own real property or an interest therein, but may not convey or make contracts relating to real property. Therefore, a minor may not directly qualify for the transfer of base year value treatment of Revenue and Taxation Code section 69.5. However, a minor may obtain the benefit of that section indirectly through a guardianship or trust. In order to do so, the minor must be a beneficial owner of both the original property and the replacement property. C 11/12/1999.
