Contra Costa County
The estate owns only a partial property interest
When the deceased owned less than the entire property and the assignment may involve a fractional or shared ownership interest.
The value of the whole property is not automatically the same as the value attributable to a partial interest, particularly when control and marketability are limited.
Contra Costa County estates may involve everything from older West County homes and central-county suburbs to hillside, luxury, rural-edge, and Delta-oriented residential properties.
Because partial-interest assignments can require specialized analysis, the ownership documents and intended use should be reviewed before accepting the scope.
