220.0000 CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

Annotation 220.0302

220.0302 Joint Tenancy. A mother and son obtained from the mother's parents title to property as equal joint tenants in August 1972. The mother died in 1982, and the son became sole owner by right of survivorship. Fifty percent of the property was subject to reappraisal since the survivor was not a transferor and therefore, could not qualify as an "original transferor."

Since mother and son obtained title as joint tenants in 1972, the presumption in Revenue and Taxation Code section 65(e) that they were "original transferors" was applicable, but it was rebutted by the fact that the deed making them joint tenants did not list them among the transferors. C 7/10/1991.
