Santa Clara 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.
Santa Clara County estates may include older Silicon Valley homes, attached housing, luxury residences, rural-residential property, and real estate affected by decades of market change.
Because partial-interest assignments can require specialized analysis, the ownership documents and intended use should be reviewed before accepting the scope.
