The Devastating CA Wildfires and How to Help

by

forest fire

The Dixie Fire in Plumas County has exploded into the largest single wildfire in California history – consuming more than 500,000 acres in a wildfire season that’s on track to shatter last year’s records. As a result, several REALTOR® members have tragically lost their home and/or business.

If you and/or your members would like to help, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund, which provides grants of up to $5,000 to help members of the California REALTOR® family (including REALTORS®, employees of REALTORS®, and employees of local Associations of REALTORS®) who have incurred substantial loss due to the wildfires or other natural disasters.

In addition, the North Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) is a nonprofit located in Chico, CA that supports the rebuilding and revitalization of communities throughout the region impacted by wildfire. In light of the Dixie fire in Plumas County, NVCF has allocated money from its Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund to issue grants to organizations that are helping to provide basic necessities to evacuees of the Dixie Fire.

Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act

by

ab 633

C.A.R.-sponsored AB 633 (Calderon), which enacts the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act in California, helps protect those persons who inherit property where there are multiple heirs, but no will or trust exists, was signed into law by Gov. Newsom. 

The law also provides mechanisms which favor market sales with real estate licensees, rather than a traditional probate court sale to ensure the best possible price for a property, should a sale of the property be necessary. The bill received strong bipartisan support in the legislature and did not receive any “No” votes.

Here is additional background on the Uniform Law developed by Professor Thomas Wilson Mitchell, who developed the model law and won a MacArthur Foundation Grant for his work.
