The lawyer office only handles the transfer of ownership with the local land office. The lawyer would then inform the seller once the deemed transaction has been approved and the ownership has been passed on to the buyer.

With regard to cukai taksiran, it's a matter between the seller and the buyer only. The lawyer would facilitate the process via notice or reminder to either party only. But the new owner would bear a greater risk of property confiscation if he/she continues to ignore the change of ownership notification with the relevant local authorities.
