Property Transfer (Pindahmilik)

A living property transfer (pindah milik) moves ownership of land or a house to a family member while the owner is still alive, often as a transfer for love and affection. VL Legacy Solutions in Kampar, Perak handles the whole process, from land search and Borang 14A to stamp duty, CKHT and registration at the Land Office.

Who this is for

  • Parents who want to pass a house or land to their children now
  • Spouses transferring property to each other
  • Grandparents transferring property to grandchildren
  • Families who want to avoid a long estate process later

What you'll need

  • Original land title (geran) or strata title
  • Identity cards of the owner and the recipient
  • Birth or marriage certificates proving the family relationship
  • Latest quit rent (cukai tanah) and assessment (cukai pintu) receipts
  • Loan redemption letter, if the property is charged to a bank

This is a general list. VL Legacy Solutions will confirm exactly what your case needs.

How we help

  1. Land search

    We check the title at the Land Office for ownership, restrictions, caveats and charges.

  2. Prepare Borang 14A

    We prepare the transfer form and supporting documents for signing.

  3. Stamp duty assessment

    We submit the transfer to LHDN for stamp duty assessment and apply for any exemption your family qualifies for.

  4. CKHT filing

    We file the CKHT (RPGT) forms with LHDN within the required period.

  5. State consent if needed

    Where the title has a restriction in interest, we apply for state consent.

  6. Registration

    We register the transfer at the Land Office and hand you the updated title.

Frequently asked questions

Is there stamp duty exemption for property transfers between family members?

Transfers between parents and children, and between spouses, may qualify for full or partial stamp duty exemption, subject to conditions such as citizenship and property value. The rules change from time to time, so VL Legacy Solutions checks the current position for your case.

Do I have to pay CKHT on a family transfer?

Transfers between spouses, between parents and children, and between grandparents and grandchildren are generally treated as no gain, no loss for CKHT, but the forms must still be filed with LHDN. VL Legacy Solutions prepares and files them for you.

How long does a living property transfer take?

Usually from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the stamp duty assessment, whether state consent is needed and the Land Office's workload.

Is a living transfer better than a will?

Neither is always better. A living transfer settles things early but you give up ownership now, while a will keeps you in control but your family must apply for probate later. VL Legacy Solutions helps you compare both for your family.
