Excellent. Do a clean transfer with "love and affection from husband to wife" as consideration via a memorandum of transfer (MOT).

100% exemption upon stamp duty on the MOT and perhaps just few hundred in disbursements.

Legal fees would be a reasonable figure not more than the scaled fees according to the market value of the property at the time of transfer. In other words, it's negotiable.

The work is minimal anyway, as there is no SPA involved. Don't be tricked into paying more for preparation of Deed of Gift, etc. That is not needed based on the facts of your case, i.e. from husband to wife.

All in all, can be completed within 3-4 weeks at the soonest.

Hi dariofoo

I’m doing a clean transfer with "love and affection from husband to wife" as consideration via a memorandum of transfer (MOT). The lawyer says I need to do consent because the state authority request it when do name transfer, may I know is this true?
