Your Guide to Selling a Deceased Estate

Rest assured that our team will be by your side throughout the entire process, guiding you through each step. But knowledge is key, so here are a few things to remember. Before you can list the property for sale, you must ensure that the probate has been granted and that all outstanding debts and taxes have been paid. These are needed in order to comply with QLD law. Once these criteria have been met, then you can prepare the property for sale.

In QLD, the property may be exempt from land taxes for a period of time, but this is dependent on specific criteria such as the age of the property and whether it was a residential property or being rented. Our experts will help you to understand these criteria to understand if the exemption can apply to the estate in question. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience in deceased estates and land tax and will always ensure that you are complying with local, regional and national law.

We recommend Dam Lawyers if you are looking for people that are both proffessional and reliable. We had Dam Lawyers look after the sale and purchase of our homes. Vinh and his team were amazing in more ways than expected on what should have been a reasonably straight forward transaction for my husband and I. They kept us calm and reassured us that our legal requirements would be met and any hiccups that occurred would be looked after in a professional manner. Aliyah was our point of contact who responded to all our inquiries. She was great. Vinh helped us deal with a couple of aspects that due to our ages of 60+ needed attention and caused us frustration. He helped clarify these issues for us in a calm and reassuring manner. He is a pleasure to deal with and my husband and I are very grateful to Vinh Aliyah and the team.

This review is based on my engagement with Dam Lawyers late 2022- early 2023. Vinh and his team were very prompt and professional with their communications and in ensuring I was kept up to date for every step of the settlement process in purchasing my first home. The process was seamless from a home buyer to a home owner. I highly recommend Vinh and his team at Dam Lawyers.

I engaged DAM Lawyers to assist with a property sale matter that was time-sensitive and required strong due diligence, experience, and attention to detail. Vinh took on the job immediately, despite being unwell and having to go home that day, and still completed the work the very next day. I know he was extremely busy, yet he went above and beyond what one to expect from legal services in today market. The quality of his work was exceptional — thorough, accurate, and without any mistakes no back and forth. I was extremely grateful and, quite frankly, surprised by the level of service provided. I have no hesitation in recommending Vinh as a property lawyer.

Buying our home felt a lot less overwhelming thanks to Dam Lawyers!!! They kept things clear, explained everything in a way that actually made sense, and were always quick to respond whenever we needed reassurance. It never felt rushed or confusing, just steady and well handled the whole way through. A special thank you to Nancy! She was amazing to deal with. Always one call away, genuinely caring, and made us feel supported at every step. Settlement day came and went without a single issue, which says everything. Really grateful for how smoothly it all went. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!

Amazing attention to detail, only matched by their unending kindness. Vinh and his team at Dam Lawyers are exactly what comes to mind when I think of the A-Team of conveyancing. ​They managed to find hidden debts that were completely undisclosed to us, buried under countless pages of fluff. Thanks to Vinh and his dream team, we dodged a -$400k sinking fund with massive special levies (all within 24 hours of receiving the contract, mind you). They safely got us out of a sticky situation and, within the span of just one week, helped us land an amazing property that turned out to be even better than the one we almost got trapped in. ​Their highly responsive staff taking the time to patiently explain things we had questions about (no matter how dumb) was exactly what we needed after being shellshocked from our first misadventure. ​The total fees came out much lower than what we expected for such amazing service. It was a real VIP experience to be stepped through every single point of the purchase, and their advice kept us completely sane through the monumental milestone of becoming first-home owners in such a brutal climate. ​Highly, highly recommend Vinh and his team for anyone looking for a one-stop house buying shop that gives even complete newbies the confidence and results of a powerhouse investment mogul.
