    Hello all! i am seeking some advice or knowledge please. Currently i own a 50% share of a property with my mother who owns the other 50%. I am looking to take 100% of the title and another investor i spoke to a while ago mentioned that the government will sometimes waive if not minimise the amount of stamp duty payable on this sort of transfer due to the circumstances between family members. Does anyone have any knowledge on this sort of scenario or able to point m in the right direction to find out? Regards Justin

    Unlikely. This is a dutiable transaction with duty payable on the value of the property transferred. Duty would be payable in NSW.

    In Victoria, stamp duty may be exempt when transferring property between spouses, but not other family members from memory.
