Transfer on Love and affection oh Transfer on Love and affection

Recently I plan to buy a Low cost FLAT, but damn kanasai, I am not eligible.

I am looking for alternative. One of it is using My parent in law name and then transfer back or wait for letter of administration.

Which one is better???


A) Transfer on Love and Affection
Generally, an acquisition of property attracts stamp duty exposure and a disposal of property may attract real property gains tax (“RPGT”). Stamp duty is calculated on the market value of the property at the time of the acquisition whereas RPGT is calculated on the profit gained from the disposal of the property.
In the case of a transfer of property between family members by way of love and affection, the law provides for a full or partial exemption of stamp duty and/or RPGT in certain instances.
Stamp Duty
The stamp duty payable for arm’s length acquisitions is calculated in the following manner:
Consideration/ Adjudicated ValueStamp Duty rate
First RM100,0001%
Subsequent RM400,0002%
Amount exceeding RM500,0003%
 
In contrast, pursuant to the Stamp Duty (Exemption) (No. 10) Order 2007, the law provides for stamp duty exemption for a transfer of property between family members by way of love and affection as follows:
TransferorTransfereeExemption Rate
HusbandWife100%
WifeHusband100%
Mother and/or fatherChild50%
ChildMother and/or father50%
 
Note that ‘Child’ means a legitimate child, a step child or child adopted in accordance with any law. Also, stamp duty is typically paid by the transferee, unless agreed otherwise by parties.
Real Property Gains Tax
With effect from 1 January 2014, the revised RPGT rates for the disposal of real property and shares in real property companies are as follows:
2014 RPGT Rate
Date of DisposalCompaniesIndividual (Citizen & Permanent Resident)Individual (Non-Citizen)
Within 3 years from the date of acquisition30%30%30%
In the 4th year20%20%30%
In the 5th year15%15%30%
In the 6th year and subsequent years5%0%5%
 
That said, the law provides for 100% exemption from having to pay RPGT in the case of a transfer of property between family members by way of love and affection in the following instances:
(a)    transfers between husband and wife;
(b)   transfers between parent and child; and
(c)    transfers between grandparent and grandchild.
In these instances, the transferor is deemed to have received no gain and suffered no loss and the transferee is deemed to have acquired the property at an acquisition price equal to the acquisition price paid by the transferor together with any permitted expenses incurred by the transferor. This is provided for under Paragraph 12 of Section 7 to Schedule 2 of the Real Property Gains Tax Act.
In practice, this exemption is beneficial to the transferor but may not necessarily be the case for the transferee (in his capacity as a transferor when he subsequently disposes the property) if the transferee disposes of the property within 5 years from the date he acquires the property. For example, Father (“F”) bought a piece of property from A in 2010 at the price of RM500,000. F subsequently transferred the property to his son, C, by way of love and affection in 2011 (which at that time, the market value was RM1,000,000). C subsequently disposed the property in 2014 at the price of RM800,000. C is required liable for RPGT payments of RM300,000.
Note also that there is RPGT exemptions on gains from the disposal of one residential property once in a lifetime to individuals.
Versus:

B) Obtain letter of Administration

Process and Procedure in Estate Administration 
(Section 17 of the Public Trust Corporation Act of 1995)
1. Application
The Applicant must fill in the Application Form for Administration of Deceased's Estate. It must be submitted together with the relevant supporting documents such as Death Certificate/proof of death, Marriage Certificate, copy of the Personal Identification Document / Birth Certificate of the beneficiaries, and documents showing ownership by deceased of property, eg. car/land grants, etc.

2. Investigation
Information by way of investigation will be gathered from the relevant parties to ascertain the assets, liabilities and the status of the deceased's beneficiaries.
3. Confirmation
Confirmation by banks or other relevant parties of the deceased's assets and liabilities.
4. Grant of Letter of Administration (LA)
The process of granting Letters of Administration depends on the section under which the estate is administered.
5. Proceeds
All assets will be consolidated upon the issue of Letters of Administration. For instance, if the deceased has savings with a bank, AmanahRaya will produce a copy of the Letters of Administration to the bank to withdraw the savings. The bank will issue the cheque in AmanahRaya’s name. The cheque will then be deposited into the deceased's account with AmanahRaya.
6. Distribution
Distribution of the estate will be carried out after dealing with matters such as funeral expenses, liabilities, properties held in trust, matrimonial properties and the deceased’s will. Once the properties for distribution have been identified, AmanahRaya will proceed with the actual distribution of the estate among the beneficiaries entitled to it.
  • Muslims
    In the case of Muslims, distribution will generally be according to Faraid Law. But however if the beneficiaries having collectively agreed to a particular scheme of distribution produce written proof thereof, estate distribution will be as per the collective agreement.

     
  • Non- Muslims
    Where the deceased leaves a Will, estate distribution will be according to the terms of the Will. Where there is no Will, estate distribution will be according to the Distribution Act 1958 which determines the share each beneficiary is entitled to.
