Summary

A viral Instagram reel claims California’s Proposition 19 “hijacks your kids’ inheritance.” In this Tuesday Triage episode, Jill walks through the facts behind the fear. Using a real-world example, she explains how California property taxes actually work, what changed under Proposition 19, and why federal tax rules like step-up in tax basis still protect many beneficiaries. This episode is about slowing down, adding context, and replacing social-media sound bites with real understanding.
