WIRE FRAUD ADVISORY
Parties to a real estate transaction are often targets for wire fraud and financial confidence schemes, unfortunately
with many losing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars because they relied (without verification) on “revised” or
“new” wire instructions appearing to come from a trusted party to the transaction.
IF YOU INTEND TO WIRE FUNDS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION, WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VERBALLY VERIFY THOSE INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH A KNOWN,
TRUSTED PHONE NUMBER PRIOR TO SENDING FUNDS.
In addition, the following self-protection strategies are recommended to minimize exposure to possible wire fraud.
•DO NOT RELY on emails purporting to change wire instructions. Placer Title Company will never change its wire instructions in the course of a transaction. If you receive a random or unsolicited email from anyone
requesting funds to be wired, and attaching “new,” “alternate,” “updated,” “revised” and/or “different” wire instructions, contact your escrow officer immediately (at a verifiable number in the manner noted below) and
before wiring any money.
•VERIFY the wire instructions you do receive by calling the party who sent the instructions to you. However, DO
NOT use the phone number provided in the email containing the instructions, and DO NOT send a reply email
to verify, since the email address may be incorrect, fraudulent or being intercepted by the fraudster. Rather, use
phone numbers you have called before and/or can independently verify through other sources (company
website or internet search).
•USE COMPLEX PASSWORDS that are at least ten (10) characters long and contain a combination of mixed
case, numbers, and symbols. You should also change your password often and not reuse the same password
for other online accounts.
•ENABLE MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION for all email accounts. Your email provider may have specific instructions on how to implement this feature.
•CHECK FOR AUTO-FORWARDING on your email account and disable it. This is one of the most “silent” ways a fraudster can monitor your email account because every email that comes in is automatically forwarded to
them, even if you change your password.
This Notice is not intended to provide legal or professional advice, nor is it an exclusive list of self-protection strategies.
Customers are encouraged to always be aware of such schemes, and to contact their escrow officer if ever in doubt.

NOTICE
FEDERAL FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN REAL PROPERTY TAX ACT OF 1980 (FIRPTA)
Upon the sale of United States real property, by a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, partnership or trust, the Foreign Investment in Real
Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA), and as revised by the Tax Reform Act of 1984 (26 USCA 897 (C)(1)(A)(1) and 26 USCA 1445), Revised by the Path
Act of 2015, These changes may be reviewed in full in H.R. 2029, now known as Public Law 114-113. See Section 324 of the law for the full text of
FIRPTA changes. Effective February 27, 2016, the amendments to FIRPTA contained in the PATH Act have increased the holdback rate from 10% of
gross proceeds to 15% of gross proceeds of the sale, regardless of whether the actual tax due may exceed (or be less than) the amount withheld if
ANY of the following conditions are met:
1. If the amount realized (generally the sales price) is $300,000 or less, and the property will be used by the Transferee as a residence (as provided
for in the current regulations), no monies need be withheld or remitted to the IRS.
2. If the amount realized exceeds $300,000 but does not exceed $1,000,000, and the property will be used by the Transferee as a residence, (as
provided for in the current regulations) then the withholding rate is 10% on the full amount realized (generally the sales prices)
3. If the amount realized exceeds $1,000,000, then the withholding rate is 15% on the entire amount, regardless of use by the Transferee. The
exemption for personal use as a residence does not apply in this scenario.
If the purchaser who is required to withhold income tax from the seller fails to do so, the purchaser is subject to fines and penalties as provided
under Internal Revenue Code Section 1445.
Escrow Holder will, upon written instructions from the purchaser, withhold Federal Income Tax from the seller and will deposit said tax with the
Internal Revenue Service, together with IRS Forms 8288 and 8288-A. The fee charged for this service is $25.00 payable to the escrow holder.
CALIFORNIA WITHHOLDING
In accordance with Sections 18662 and 18668 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, a transferee (Buyer) may be required to withhold an amount
equal to 3 1/3 percent of the sales price or an alternative withholding amount certified to by the seller in the case of a disposition of California real
property interest by either:
1. A seller who is an individual or when the disbursement instructions authorize the proceeds to be sent to a financial intermediary or the seller,
OR
2. A corporate seller that has no permanent place of business in California.
The buyer may become subject to penalty for failure to withhold an amount equal to the greater of 10 percent of the amount required to be
withheld or five hundred dollars ($500).
However, notwithstanding any other provision included in the California statutes referenced above, no buyer will be required to withhold any
amount or be subject to penalty for failure to withhold if:
1. The sales price of the California real property conveyed does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00), OR
2. The seller executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, of any of the following:
a. The property qualifies as the seller's (or decedent's, if being sold by the decedent's estate) principal residence within the meaning of
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 121; or
b. The seller (or decedent, if being sold by the decedent's estate) last used the property as the seller's (decedent's) principal residence
within the meaning of IRC Section 121 without regard to the two-year time period; or
c. The seller has a loss or zero gain for California income tax purposes on this sale; or
d. The property is being compulsorily or involuntarily converted and the seller intends to acquire property that is similar or related in service
or use to qualify for non-recognition of gain for California income tax purposes under IRC Section 1033; or
e. If the transfer qualifies for non-recognition treatment under IRC Section 351 (transfer to a corporation controlled by the transferor) or IRC
Section 721 (contribution to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest); or
f. The seller is a corporation (or an LLC classified as a corporation for federal and California income tax purposes) that is either qualified
through the California Secretary of State or has a permanent place of Business in California; or
g. The seller is a partnership (or an LLC that is not a disregarded single member LLC and is classified as a partnership for federal and
California income tax purposes) with recorded title to the property in the name of the partnership of LLC; or
h. The seller is a tax-exempt entity under either California or federal law; or
i. The seller is an insurance company, individual retirement account, qualified pension/profit sharing plan, or charitable remainder trust; or
j. The transfer qualifies as a simultaneous like-kind exchange within the meaning of IRC Section 1031; or

l. The transfer of this property will be an installment sale that you will report as such for California tax purposes and the buyer has agreed
to withhold on each principal payment instead of withholding the full amount at the time of transfer.

NOTICE
DEPOSIT OF FUNDS AND DISBURSEMENT DISCLOSURE
Unless you elect otherwise (as described below), all funds received by (the "Company") in escrow will be deposited with
other escrow funds in one or more non-interest bearing escrow accounts of the Company in a financial institution
selected by the Company. The depositor acknowledges that the deposit of funds in a non-interest bearing demand
account by Escrow Holder may result in said company receiving a range of economic benefits from the bank in the form
of services, credits, considerations, or other things of value. The depositor hereby specifically waives any claim to such
economic benefits payable to Escrow Holder resulting from non-interest bearing deposits. Unless you direct the
Company to open an interest-bearing account (as described below), the Company shall have no obligation to account to
you in any manner for the value of, or to compensate any party for, any benefit received by the Company and/or its
affiliated company. Any such benefits shall be deemed additional compensation of the Company for its services in
connection with the escrow.
If you elect, funds deposited by you prior to the close of escrow may be placed in an individual interest-bearing account
arrangement that the Company has established with one of its financial institutions. You do not have an opportunity to
earn interest on the funds deposited by a lender. If you elect to earn interest through this special account arrangement,
the Company will charge you an additional fee of $50.00 for the establishment and maintenance of the account. This
fee compensates the Company for the costs associated with opening and managing the interest-bearing account,
preparing correspondence/documentation, transferring funds, maintaining appropriate records for audit/reconciliation
purposes, and filing any required tax withholding statements. It is important that you consider this cost in your decision
since the cost may exceed the interest you earn.

collected, subject to legal limitations. We do not discriminate against consumers for exercising rights under the CCPA or
other laws.

service providers to delete it, subject to legal limitations. If we have a valid reason to retain personal information or are
