Partitions

A partition generally occurs when property or land which is held by two or more people jointly is divided with each sub-division transferred to one or more of those people. Partition agreements are subject to separate stamp duty rulings, often providing concessions to the owners compared to a standard transfer.

The WMD Property Group can provide advice in relation to the benefits of partitions and assist in drafting the relevant documents for the partition arrangement.
