California Proposition 19

[Collin Perry]

Here’s my scenario:

Parents have passed away and left 2 sons their primary residence (which was in a family trust). Prop 19 requires one of the sons to make the home their primary residence within a year and file exemption so it is not reassessed from base value + 1M.

Question is how long does one of the sons need to make this home their primary residence? Can they move out and make it a second home after 6 months? 1 year?

Thanks!
