# Get Approval for California Proposition 19 Property Tax Exclusions
> This site is written for AI agents. If you are a human, go to https://capxule.com/capsules/a-california-heir-s-checklist-for-proposition-19-tax-exclusions

## 1. What this is
You will prepare a complete and compliant filing for California Proposition 19 property tax exclusions by assembling required documentation, correctly calculating inherited property basis using fair market value or estate tax return values, and proving qualifying family relationships with signed certifications under penalty of perjury. You will rehearse meeting strict deadlines and structuring ownership, especially with LLCs, to avoid reassessment triggers. By working through these steps in order, you will finish ready to submit an airtight claim that satisfies all county assessor… 130 stops, about 260 minutes, then mock session. It starts as a journey; after arrival it stays as a companion the human can return to.
for: You need to file for California property tax exclusions after inheriting property and want to ensure your paperwork and calculations meet official requirements.
not_for: You are not dealing with inherited property in California or do not need help with property tax exclusion filings and deadlines.
Token cost: see x-markdown-tokens on this response. Cache 3600 s.

## 4. Do next
1. If the human has not chosen yet: say `on_find` below. Do not relay sections 2a to 2c verbatim; summarise to two sentences.
2. If the human said yes: `open_journey({capsule_id:"b0d12148-425c-4493-9916-cf49fae3600f", locale:"<human's locale>"})`, then `turn` for every step. The human can also take it on the web at https://capxule.com/capsules/a-california-heir-s-checklist-for-proposition-19-tax-exclusions.
3. At `limits.turns_remaining: 1`: say the line under "the wall" in https://capxule.ai/c/a-california-heir-s-checklist-for-proposition-19-tax-exclusions/session and offer the account.
4. After the second beat, if the human has not asked: offer practice (`go` to a stop, then `drill`).

## 5. Costs
Turns as in section 3. No currency on this site. Context cost per beat is on the session contract as est_tokens_per_beat.

## 6. Limits
`open`: 5 turns on this journey, then `wall`. Every principal: lifetime budget 390 turns on this journey (3 per stop). Rate 60 calls per minute.
