Buying, selling and owning property

Buying, selling and owning property

ADLV Law – Property Legal Services

Real estate is where you build and protect your wealth. But tax, stamp duty, land tax and compliance costs can take a large bite out of your returns. You also need to ensure you don’t lose it all to a creditor or ex-spouse.

We will guide you to the best way to buy and hold your properties. If you need to set up a structure to hold them, we’ll get that done. If you need to restructure what you already hold, we’ll save you tax and stamp duty.

Every property investor needs a great lawyer on their team. Call us today on 1300 654 590 or email us for a no-obligation chat.

Probate hasn’t been granted yet, and you’re not sure what you can and can’t do.
