What AB1033 Unlocks

Independent Sale Rights

Legally detach your ADU from your primary residence, allowing it to be sold to a third party as a separate deeded property with its own title.

Lump-Sum Liquidity

Extract maximum value immediately. Access six-figure equity without the burden of high interest rates from HELOCs or traditional refinancing options.

Asset Separation

Diversify your portfolio. Create two distinct market-valued assets from a single residential lot for long-term investment flexibility.
