Legal basis and recipients
The transfer must comply with a court order dividing matrimonial assets, such as divorce, judicial separation or nullity, or arise in consequence of divorce proceedings. The property must move from one party to the other party and/or children of that marriage or former marriage. A voluntary family gift outside these circumstances is not automatically covered.
Claiming the concession
Use Stamp Duty Login to stamp and obtain the remission certificate under the Matrimonial Proceedings Rules. Keep the court and transfer documents that establish the link between the proceedings and the conveyance. The concession relates to the transfer instrument; it does not itself approve a later purchase or waive duties on unrelated replacement property.
