Ken is one of our top Trust & Estate loan professionals and assists both clients and Attorneys with loans to Irrevocable Trusts and Probate Estates.

Loans to Trusts and Estates for the Prop 58 Parent to Child Property Tax Transfer
An Interview with Abraham Ordaz regarding Loans to Trusts and Estate to equalize a distribution in order to qualify for the California Proposition 58 Exclusion from Property Tax Reassessment.
Recently Abraham Ordaz, Account Executive for Commercial Loan Corporation was interviewed by PropertyTaxTransferTrusts.com. The interview focused on how Abraham assists clients with financing for Irrevocable Trusts to provide liquidity so that an equal distribution can be made and a child inheriting a home can keep their parents low Proposition 13 protected property tax base. The full interview can be found here.
Here are some highlights from that interview:
Property Tax Transfer: Abe, thank you so much for sitting down with me today to chat about your work at Commercial Loan Corp and how you assist clients when it comes to using California Proposition 58 to transfer a parents low property tax base to a child who is inheriting a home.
Abraham Ordaz: Sure, my pleasure.
Property Tax Transfer: Abe, who do you generally speak to when it comes to taking calls from prospects?
Abraham Ordaz: I speak to a variety of involved parties when it comes to helping a client transfer a parents low Prop 13 property tax base from a parent to a child. Often times the conversation begins with a Trust Administrator or a Trust Beneficiary who is interested in using Prop 58 to transfer a property tax base from a parent to a child on an inherited property. After that initial conversation it is common for me to also have a conversation with the Trust & Estate Attorney who is assisting them with the distribution of the trust or estate. On occasion they do not have an attorney who is currently working with them and I am able to refer them to one in their area who is familiar with the Proposition 58 Parent to Child Property Tax Transfer process and who can help them secure their property tax transfer benefit. At Commercial Loan Corporation we have helped hundreds of clients by providing them with a loan to an irrevocable trust so that an equal distribution can be made and they can meet the requirements set by the California Board of Equalization to qualify for the Proposition 58 property tax transfer benefit.
Property Tax Transfer: Are your clients and attorneys usually familiar with trust loans, and how they work with the California Proposition 58 process?
Abraham Ordaz: Many of the Attorneys that I work with are familiar with the Proposition 58 process, as well as Proposition 13 and the need for a trust loan to equalize a distribution when a trust or estate does not have sufficient liquid assets. In fact, many of my clients are referred to me by their trust and estate Attorney. We are one of the only California Trust and Estate Lenders who will lend directly to an Irrevocable Trust with no personal guarantee from the acquiring beneficiary and we are the only California lender that I am aware of that specializes with these types of transactions to help clients secure their Proposition 58 property tax benefit. That is the reason why I receive so many Attorney referrals. The Attorney wants to make sure that their client is in good hands and that the process is done correctly so that the client will qualify for the Prop 58 parent to child exclusion from property tax reassessment. Often times we help clients save more than $6,000.00 per year in property taxes on an inherited home.
Property Tax Transfer: Abe, that is fantastic that you have developed such great relationships with Trust & Estate Attorneys. Do you usually provide them with an estimate on how much you would be able to save their clients when it comes to property taxes?
Abraham Ordaz: Yes, we provide a free cost benefit analysis for each client. It tells them exactly how much we expect their client to save in property taxes each year as opposed to if their property were to be reassessed. At that time we also provide them with a free quote for the trust loan so that we can make sure it is in their best interest. In most cases it is of great benefit…
Property Tax Transfer: Do you get into the various particulars with Proposition 58, and how that works in concert with loans to trusts?
Abraham Ordaz: Yes, we break everything down into very simple terms so that the Proposition 58 property tax transfer and trust loan process are all easy to understand. That is one of the reasons why so many Trust and Estate Attorneys who deal with California Proposition 58 love to work with us.
Property Tax Transfer: Got it. Abe, how do you help your clients who are interested in keeping a parents low property tax base on an inherited home understand how the trust loan and Proposition 58 parent to child transfer benefits work, keeping the initial inheritance property transfer taxes down, buying out siblings’ property ownership shares, and so on? Yet keeping it very simple.
Abraham Ordaz: I start with the basics of Proposition 58 and the California Board of Equalization requirements for a Parent to Child Property Tax Transfer. I then help them determine how much their trust or estate will need in order to make an equal distribution. After that we review all the numbers together and I answer any questions they may have on the process. Next we get their Attorney involved so that they can handle all of the legal aspects of the Proposition 58 parent to child exclusion and provide us with all of the required information for the trust or estate. Lastly, we provide them with the funds needed so that an equal distribution can be made in order for them to meet that qualification requirement for Prop 58. The Attorney or Property Tax Consultant then helps them submit their property tax transfer request to the County Assessors office so that they can secure their parents low property tax base.
Property Tax Transfer: Got it. Abe, do you get into the customer service aspect at all? I understand that a very special kind of customer service is critical to this process, to be successful, so to speak, with each family.
Abraham Ordaz: Yes… Customer service is the most important aspect to our business and we try to be our best version of ourselves for every client regardless of the size of the loan. Everyone is treated equally and respectfully. Everyone that joins the Commercial Loan Corp family, as it were, is a V.I.P. client!
Property Tax Transfer: That’s very interesting and a rare thing to find these days in this business climate. Well, we want to thank you so much for sitting and chatting with us today. We really appreciate it.
Abraham Ordaz: It’s my pleasure. Thanks for having me.

He or one of our other Trust and Estate Loan Account Executives can assist you and answer all of your questions.
Parent Child Exclusion From Property Tax Reassessment
Commercial Loan Corporation specializes in helping clients qualify for California Proposition 58’s Parent to Child Exclusion from Property Tax Reassessment with our Trust and Estate loans. You may be wondering what the parent to child exclusion from property tax reassessment is. When a parent passes and leaves a child real estate in California, Prop 58 grants the ability for a child to also inherit the parents low property tax base on the property if certain conditions are met and the appropriate documents are submitted correctly to the county tax assessors office.
How does Commercial Loan Corporation help in that situation?
Often times when there are multiple children involved and one of those children want’s to inherit the property and keep the parents low property taxes, the county assessors office will require an equal distribution of assets be made to all children. Unfortunately most Trust & Estates do not have sufficient cash assets for an equal distribution to be made and that may result in the inherited home being reassessed. Commercial Loan Corporation can assist clients in that situation. Unlike most California lenders, we specialize in assisting customers with the California Proposition 58 parent to child exclusion from property tax reassessment. In fact, we are one of the only California lenders that will lend directly to an Irrevocable Trust with no personal guarantee from the acquiring beneficiary which is often a Board of Equalization requirement when the property is held in an irrevocable trust and multiple beneficiaries are involved.
If you, a family member or a client of yours is inheriting property and are interested in transferring a parents low property tax base please give us a call at 877-464-1066. We can answer any questions you may have and provide you with a free analysis of how much your might be able to save by taking advantage of the California Proposition 58 Parent to Child Exclusion From Property tax Reassessment.
Commercial Loan Corporation is a licensed California lender specializing in making loans to trusts and estates.

In fact every month we help clients by providing trust loans so that an equal distribution of assets can be made.

Loans to Irrevocable Trusts
Most banks and lenders are not willing to lend on a property that is held in an Irrevocable Trust. Instead they require that the property be removed from the trust before placing a mortgage upon it. This can make it difficult if not impossible for a beneficiary to qualify for Proposition 58. If you are trying to preserve a parents low Proposition 13 property tax base on an inherited property that is held in a trust, call us at 877-464-1066 and we can help you simplify what can be a complicated process.
Commercial Loan Corporation is excited to welcome Jay Rhein to our Trust and Estate Loan team! Jay’s primary role at Commercial Loan Corporation is to assist clients, Attorneys and Trust Administrators in obtaining mortgages for trusts and estates. Our Trust & Estate Loans help beneficiaries and heirs take advantage of California Proposition 58’s exclusion for property tax reassessment and retain a parents low Proposition 13 tax base on an inherited home. This is accomplished by providing a trust or estate with the cash needed for an equal distribution of assets; one of the California Board of Equalization requirements for Proposition 58.
A few words from Jay Rhein
“I began my career in the real estate business when I was a young lad attending UCLA. I worked in the construction industry (pounding nails) during the summer to pay my way through college.
After I graduated with a degree in economics, my bride and I started our wine distribution business. We represented small family owned wineries. Working hard, we were able to get our wineries into all the major supermarket chains including Safeway, Vons, Albertsons and Ralphs.
For the past six years I have had the privilege of serving as a mortgage banker helping homeowners and business owners achieve their dreams and goals. My proudest moment was when I had the honor of stopping Bank of America from foreclosing the next day on a 104-year-old borrower. I was able to secure a reverse mortgage which will provide enough funds so she can stay in her home for another one hundred and four years.
My goal is to place my customers in the best possible financial position for their future while providing the top customer experience in the industry. Commercial Loan Corporation with its family values gives me the freedom to do this. In fact, the founder insists on it.”
In the State of California, real estate is typically reassessed at market value when it is sold or transferred. As a result, property taxes may increase dramatically due to the new higher assessment value. Prop 58 or Proposition 58 is a California Proposition that with limitations, grants the ability to avoid property reassessment on real estate inherited from a parent in California. With the passage of Proposition 58 in 1986, if the sale or transfer of real estate is between a parent and their child, under some circumstances, the property will not be reassessed if all Board of Equalization conditions are met and the application for exclusion is filed in a appropriate amount of time.
Proposition 58 allows the child who is inheriting the home to avoid property tax reassessment when acquiring property from their parents. The child’s taxes are instead calculated on the parents established Proposition 13 factored base year value, instead of the current market value when the property is acquired.
In some cases in order to qualify for California Proposition 58, when the home is being inherited via a trust or an estate and multiple child beneficiaries are involved, an equal distribution of assets must be made. That is where Commercial Loan Corporation comes in. Commercial Loan Corporation provides third party mortgages to trusts and estates with no personal guarantee required from the acquiring beneficiary or heir. Our trust loan or probate loan provides cash to the beneficiaries who are not inheriting the home and allows the child who is inheriting the home to keep the property and meet one of the key Proposition 58 qualification requirements. On average we help our clients save over six thousand dollars a year in property taxes in addition to eliminating the need to sell the home. This speeds up the distribution process and saves on costly realtor fees.
If you or a client needs a distribution loan to take advantage of California Proposition 58, please call 877-464-1066. We can provide you with a free cost benefit analysis and let you know how much you may be able to save by taking advantage of your Prop 58 property tax benefits.

Call 877-464-1066 to Optimize Your Trust or Estate Distribution
Commercial Loan Corporation does more than just provide mortgages to Trusts and Estates. We also optimize trust and estate distributions!
What does that mean? Well, we can significantly increase the funds that are distributed to the beneficiaries of a trust or estate. In fact, on average we increase the funds a Trust or Estate distributes by over $40,000.
How we increase distribution funds is simple. We provide a loan directly to the Trust or Estate enabling a beneficiary to keep a family home and providing an equal share of cash to the other beneficiaries. Our Trust Loan eliminates the need to sell a parents home, avoiding the costs association with fixing up a home for sale, costly realtor expenses and seller related closing costs. This ends up being an incredible savings that all the beneficiaries of the trust or estate are all able to share in. Best of all, one of the beneficiaries is able to keep the family home and utilize California Proposition 58 to preserver a parents low Proposition 13 tax base saving on average $6,200 per year in property taxes.
Allow us to optimize your trust or estate!
If you, a family member or a client might be able to benefit from one of our trust and estate loans, please call us at 877-464-1066. We can provide you with a FREE SAVINGS ESTIMATE!
California Proposition 58 Parent to Child Transfer
California Proposition 58 – Transferring Real Estate & Property Tax Base From A Parent To A Child & The Need For A Loan To Equalize A Transfer.
On November 4, 1986, the voters of California adopted Proposition 58, which added subdivision (h) to section 2 of article XIII A of the California Constitution. Subdivision H provides that “purchase” and “change in ownership” do not include the purchase or transfer of a principal residences between parents and children, and that the first one million dollars of the full cash value of all other real property (other than principal residences) between parents and children. Section 63.1 was added to the Revenue and Taxation Code 1 to implement the parent-child exclusion provisions of California Proposition 58 and applies to any purchases or transfers between parents and children that occur on or after November 6, 1986.
The California Board of Equalization who administers Proposition 58 offered guidance to clarify some of the ambiguity of the law. They generated a Questions and Answers document for the California Assessors offices to help them properly handle Prop 58 requests for Parent to Child Transfers and requests to avoid property tax reassessment. California Proposition 58 allows a child to inherit a property from a parent, transferring the home and avoiding tax reassessment. This allows the child to keep the parents low Proposition 13 property tax base. One of the requirements of Prop 58 that the Board of Equalization addressed was the need for an equal distribution to be made when multiple beneficiaries are involved. This information can be found on Page 11 – Question 36 of the board of equalization question and answer document. The document can be located here.
Or at the California Board of Equalization Website – Located Here
Question 36 from the Board or Equalization addresses the following issue:
“A trust allows for non-pro rata distribution. However, the estate is composed primarily of a house and a small savings account. One child wants the real property and one 15 See Simms v. Pope (1990) 218 Cal.App.3d 472, 477; Domenghini v. County of San Luis Obispo (1974) 40 Cal.App.3d 689, 695. 16 Letter To Assessors 91/08. 17 Estate of Russell (1968) 69 Cal 2d 200. Page 11 REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE SECTION 63.1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS child wants cash. To equalize distribution, can the trust encumber the real property with a loan and will the transfer of real property still qualify for the parent-child exclusion?
Answer: Yes. When a trustee has the power to distribute trust assets on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis, the distribution of real property to one child qualifies for the parent-child exclusion if the value of the property does not exceed that child’s interest in the total trust estate. A trustee who elects to make a non-pro rata distribution may equalize the value of the other beneficiaries’ interests in the trust assets by encumbering the real property with a loan and distributing the loan proceeds to the other beneficiaries.18 However, a loan cannot be made by any of the beneficiaries of the real property to the trust in order to equalize the trust interests. Such loan would be considered payment for the other beneficiaries’ interests in the real property resulting in a transfer between beneficiaries rather than a transfer from parent to child, which would disqualify the transfer from the parent-child exclusion.”
This is where Commercial Loan Corporation can assist you. A conventional loan can not be used in this situation, since conventional lenders will not lend directly to a trust or estate, and the BOE requires that the loan not be made to the beneficiary but instead to the trust or estate. We are one of the only California lenders that will lend directly to a trust or estate, as opposed to a beneficiary. Our loan enables the beneficiary who is inheriting the property from a trust or estate to avoid a transfer between beneficiaries. This helps them qualify for the Proposition 58 Parent to Child Transfer, enabling them to keep a parents low Proposition 13 tax base. Our average client saves over $6,000 a year in property taxes by taking advantage of their Prop 58 property tax benefit. We will even lend to an irrevocable trust.
If you, a family member or a client may be interested in a loan to help assist with Proposition 58, please call us at 877-464-1066 and we can assist you.
Commercial Loan Corporation will be attending the 2019 – 41st Annual UCLA / CEB Estate Planning Institute at the Marriott in Marina del Ray. If you will be attending the event please visit our Senior Account Executive, Mike Riggs at our booth. Mike will be available to answer any questions you may have on our trust & estate loan programs; including our Proposition 58 loans that can allow for an equal distribution of a trust or estate so that a child can keep a parents low property tax base value on an inherited home.
