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.
