Important Things to Understand
Supplemental Taxes
SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page14
A supplemental tax bill is one you get for additional charges not
covered by your annual tax bill. These tax bills are mailed directly
to the homeowner and are not paid out to the impound account.
Really never discussed or made aware of them
After a change in ownership the property is reassessed
The bill covers the difference between the previously assessed
value taxes and the newly assessed value. Think of it as catch-up
bill

Outstanding Debts
Deed in Lieu of a Foreclosure
o Defaulted borrower signs the deed over to the lender to avoid the
foreclosure process. The transaction is still perceived as a foreclosure.

Possession AlternativesVesting / Ownership
Sole Ownership
SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page25
Sole ownership may be described as ownership by an individual or other entity capable ofacquiring title. Examples of common vesting cases of sole ownership are:
1. A Single Man or Woman, an Unmarried Man or Woman or a Widow or Widower:
A man or woman who is not legally married or in a domestic partnership. For example:Bruce Buyer, a single man.
2. A Married Man or Woman as His or Her Sole and Separate Property:A married man or woman who wishes to acquire title in his or her name alone.
The title company insuring title will require the spouse of the married man or womanacquiring title to specifically disclaim or relinquish his or her right, title and interest tothe property. This establishes that both spouses want title to the property to be grantedto one spouse as that spouse’s sole and separate property. The same rules will applyfor same sex married couples. For example: Bruce Buyer, a married man, as his soleand separate property.
Sole Ownership

Sole ownership may be described as ownership by an individual or other entitycapable of acquiring title. Examples of common vesting cases of sole ownership are:
3. A Domestic Partner as His or Her Sole and Separate Property:
A domestic partner who wishes to acquire title in his or her name alone.
The title company insuring title will require the domestic partner of the personacquiring title to specifically disclaim or relinquish his or her right, title andinterest to the property. This establishes that both domestic partners want titleto the property to be granted to one partner as that person’s sole and separateproperty. For example: Bruce Buyer, a registered domestic partner, as his soleand separate property.
Co-Ownership
SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page27
Title to property owned by two or more persons may be vested in the following forms:
1. Community Property:A form of vesting title to property owned together by married persons or by domesticpartners. Community property is distinguished from separate property, which is propertyacquired before marriage or before a domestic partnership by separate gift or bequest, afterlegal separation, or which is agreed in writing to be owned by one spouse or domesticpartner.
In California, real property conveyed to a married person, or to a domestic partner ispresumed to be community property, unless otherwise stated (i.e. property acquired asseparate property by gift, bequest or agreement). Since all such property is owned equally,both parties must sign all agreements and documents transferring the property or using it assecurity for a loan. Each owner has the right to dispose of his/her one half of the communityproperty by will. For example: Bruce Buyer and Barbara Buyer, husband and wife, ascommunity property, or Sally Smith and Jane Smith, registered domestic partners ascommunity property. Another example for same sex couples: Sally Smith and Jane Smith, whoare married to each other, as community property.
Co-Ownership – (Cont’d)
SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page28
Title to property owned by two or more persons may be vested in the following forms:
2. Community Property with Right of Survivorship:
A form of vesting title to property owned together by spouses or by domestic partners.This form of holding title shares many of the characteristics of community property butadds the benefit of the right of survivorship similar to title held in joint tenancy. Theremay be tax benefits for holding title in this manner. On the death of an owner, thedecedent’s interest ends and the survivor owns all interests in the property. For example:Bruce Buyer and Barbara Buyer, husband and wife, as community property with right ofsurvivorship, or John Buyer and Bill Buyer, husband and husband, as communityproperty with right of survivorship. Another example for same sex couples: Sally Smithand Jane Smith, registered domestic partners, as community property with right ofsurvivorship.
SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page29
Title to property owned by two or more persons may be vested in the following forms:
3. Joint Tenancy:A form of vesting title to property owned by two or more persons, who may or may not bemarried or domestic partners, in equal interests, subject to the right of survivorship in thesurviving joint tenant(s). Title must have been acquired at the same time, by the sameconveyance, and the document must expressly declare the intention to create a jointtenancy estate. When a joint tenant dies, title to the property is automatically conveyed byoperation of law to the surviving joint tenant(s). Therefore, joint tenancy property is notsubject to disposition by will. For example: Bruce Buyer, a married man and George Buyer, asingle man, as joint tenants.
Note: If a married person enters into a joint tenancy that does not include their spouse, thetitle company insuring title may require the spouse of the married man or woman acquiringtitle to specifically consent to the joint tenancy. The same rules will apply for same sexmarried couples and domestic partners.
Co-Ownership – (Cont’d)
SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page30
Title to property owned by two or more persons may be vested in the following forms:
4. Tenancy in Common:
A form of vesting title to property owned by any two or more individuals in undividedfractional interests. These fractional interests may be unequal in quantity or duration andmay arise at different times. Each tenant in common owns a share of the property, isentitled to a comparable portion of the income from the property and must bear anequivalent share of expenses. Each co-tenant may sell, lease or will to his/her heir that shareof the property belonging to him/her. For example: Bruce Buyer, a single man, as to anundivided 3/4 interest and Penny Purchaser, a single woman, as to an undivided 1/4interest.
Co-Ownership – (Cont’d)

SOURCE: California Association of REALTORS®page32
4. Limited Liability Companies (LLC)*:This form of ownership is a legal entity and is similar to both the corporation and thepartnership. The operating agreement will determine how the LLC functions and istaxed. Like the corporation its existence is separate from its owners.
*In cases of corporate, partnership, LLC or trust ownership - required documents mayinclude corporate articles and bylaws, partnership agreements, LLC operatingagreements and trust agreements and/or certificates.
RememberHow title is vested has important legal consequences and tax consequences. The taxconsequences may be different for same sex legally related couples. You may wish toconsult an attorney or tax advisor to determine the most advantageous form ofownership for your particular situation.

Paragraph 3G(1) Seller credits to be applied to closing costs (not open ended like in current contract)- specific limits as to amounts and purpose see attached
Paragraph 4A Separate addendum for Manufactured home purchases (C.A.R. Form MF-PA). Mobile homepurchase agreement is being discontinued. - important based on rental park or mobile, as itwill affect Down, and lender capacity
Paragraph 23 If buyer assigns contract, the assigned must provide seller with the same prequalification orpreapproval type as the named buyer – I understand this may include adding/replacing co-coborrower, so this is something to check w/Lender based on timing
Paragraph 8A(1) If buyer waives appraisal contingency, and property does not appraise, and failure to appraise isreason lender will not loan, buyer does not have a contractual right to cancel – May affectLending based on loan type
Paragraph 8A(2) If lender will not make loan because buyer has not acquired insurance, and buyer has alreadyremoved investigation contingency, buyer does not have a contractual right to cancel – simplesolution in advance, don’t get to this final stage without conversation

authorization card The property the buyer wants to purchase has serious health and safety problems, sub-standard non-permitted
improvements and can not be immediately occupied by the buyers
