Guidance Through Deceased Estate Transactions

Handling property as part of a deceased estate requires a specific legal process. Property transfers to a beneficiary under a will are generally exempt from, or subject to, concessional rates of stamp duty (also called transfer duty). However, these rules are applied strictly and differ between states, particularly if beneficiaries agree to alter the distributions set out in the will. Our team provides clear, compassionate guidance to executors and administrators to ensure the property is transferred or sold in accordance with the will and the relevant state or territory law.
