What is a Related Party Transfer?

A related party transfer refers to the transfer of property ownership between individuals who have a personal or business relationship. This can involve:

Spouses – adding or removing a partner from the property title
Refinancing – where the lender requires a change in ownership between related parties
Family Law Settlements – including divorce or de facto separations
Gifts or Transfers Below Market Value – such as a parent gifting property to a child
Deceased Estates – transferring property to a beneficiary under a will

What is a Non-Related Party Transfer?

We also assist with non-related party transfers, where property is transferred between individuals or entities without an existing personal or family relationship. This may occur during:

Business restructuring
Trust-related transactions
Financial settlements between friends or acquaintances

Our team ensures all required forms, legal disclosures and government notifications are correctly completed.

Is stamp duty payable on related party transfers?

Yes, in most cases stamp duty is payable, even if no money is exchanged. However, there are exemptions in certain situations, including:

Transfers between spouses on their principal place of residence
Transfers due to separation or divorce, as part of a family law settlement

All other transfers especially those involving gifts or below-market value are generally subject to stamp duty. We can guide you on what applies in your case and help lodge the necessary paperwork with the State Revenue Office Victoria.
