Transferring an Estate Property Straight to the Beneficiary
Under Section 93(2)(b) of the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW), an estate property can bypass a separate executor registration step and transfer title directly from the deceased owner to the named beneficiary in the Will. This process requires a formal Consent of Executor letter confirming estate liabilities are satisfied.
Flash Conveyancing drafts the consent, processes the duty assessment and lodges the transfer electronically, so the beneficiary is on title without an unnecessary intermediate step.
Skip Unnecessary Delays With Fixed-Price Certainty
One Step Fewer, One Fee Fewer
Transfer straight from the estate to the beneficiary and skip registering the executor on title first.
How the Direct Beneficiary Transfer Works
- Executor Consent & Verification: We draft the formal Executor Consent Letter and perform the required VOI checks ($30 per person).
- EDR Duty Stamping: We process the transaction via Electronic Duties Returns (EDR) to secure the $100 concessional stamp duty assessment.
- PEXA Title Settlement: We register the Transmission Application by Devisee/Beneficiary (Form 03AD) directly into the beneficiary's name.
When This Option Suits
- A direct transfer to the beneficiary is generally the right path when:
- The Will names the beneficiary who is to receive the property.
- The executor is willing to sign a Consent of Executor letter.
- The estate's liabilities have been satisfied.
- There is no need to register the executor on title first, saving a step and a set of fees.
After-Hours Appointments
- Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. Outside those hours we can still see you:
