Voluntary Transfers

If you wish to make a voluntary transfer to allow a family member to take ownership of a property you own before you die, it is essential that you seek out expert legal advice to ensure the process runs smoothly. Gibson & Associates has a great deal of experience in this area, and will work efficiently and diligently to secure your desired outcome.

By contacting our experienced solicitors, you will be provided with expert legal guidance and support every step of the way. We understand how stressful such matters can be, and will do our utmost to offer the support you need.

If the necessary safeguards are not put in place, voluntary transfers can be challenged – particularly if they were sold or given away below the market value. To avoid complications such as these from arising, it is best to seek legal advice before disposing of any assets.

To discuss any aspect of voluntary transfers with us, call Gibson & Associates on 01 872 3143. You can also fill in our online enquiry form to request a call back, and we will aim to get in touch in three hours or less.

Our Services

The Gibson & Associates’ specialist legal team can advise upon all aspects of asset protection, probate, trusts and wills. Our comprehensive service ensures your assets will be protected and not diminished by substantial tax bills.

We will suggest how best to dispose of family shares and other assets at a low tax cost, implementing an estate planning strategy that works best for you.

Our dedicated solicitors will advise on all aspects of voluntary transfers, giving careful consideration of this matter in relation to:

Capital acquisition tax
Capital gains tax
Stamp duty
Various reliefs and exemptions that may be available

Alternatively, if you are concerned about previous lifetime disposals that have been made by a loved one, or you are facing a challenge from another relative, we can help you to find a suitable solution for the dispute. This includes advising you of your legal rights and proposing the best course of action.

What is a voluntary transfer?

Voluntary transfer refers to the transfer of property by one person to another without any compensation and without any obligation of an agreement or contract. The individual who transfers the property is called the donor and the one who receives the property is called the donee.
