How to Transfer Property Ownership Between Family Members in Malaysia? 4

Many people have been asking us regarding the ownership transfer of properties among family members, particularly on the stamp duty involved. Thus, we have created this simple guide to shed some light on this matter and answer your queries. Specifically, we will share five typical scenarios of property transfers between family members as enumerated below:

1. Husband fully owns a landed residence and wants to give it all to his beloved wife. 2. Husband and wife co-equally owns a property. The former wants to give his 50 percent share to the latter so that the wife will fully control the property. 3. Father fully owns a house but wants to bequeath it to his only daughter while he is still alive. 4. Husband and wife co-equally owns a property. The latter wants to transfer his 50 percent share to his son, while the husband insists on keeping his full share. 5. A brother plans to transfer a home to his younger sister.

Free Property Transfer Between Family Members

Before we tackle each situation, please note that parents can transfer properties to one another and to their children for zero monetary consideration, meaning for free.

This is done through the use of a Deed of Assignment or Memorandum of Transfer (MOT), and the consideration indicated in the document is “love and affection” ( Pindah Milik Tanah Kasih Sayang ).

Aside from the aforementioned blood ties, other family members can bequeath a property to another relative for free through a standard MOT. Please bear in mind the consideration of love and affection does not apply to property transfers between siblings or next of kin. It is only valid if it’s the parents performing the transfer to their spouse or children. Also, the MOT or Deed of Assignment still needs to be adjudged and stamped.

Stamp Duty Rate

Property transfers among family members can be done without any price involved. But before the transfer becomes valid, the document still needs to be stamped and you need to pay a stamp duty for that to happen. The tax depends on the value of the property being transferred. For particulars, please see table below:

Stamp Duty Exemption

Nonetheless, stamp duty for some property transfers by way of love and affection is waived. Under the Stamp Duty (Exemption) (No. 10) Order of 2007, there’s no need to pay such tax on property transfers between husband and wife. In comparison, you only need to pay half of the stamp duty for transfers from parents to children and vice versa. For details, please see info below:

It’s important to take advantage of the above exemption as the tax is no trivial sum. For instance, the stamp duty of a home costing RM500,000 amounts to RM9,000, which is already a significant sum for most Malaysian families. Nevertheless, there is no need to pay these transfer fees for transfers between husband and wife.

For property transfers from parents to children or vice versa, you’re only required to fork out half of the stamp duty. For a residence valued at RM500,000, that’s equivalent to RM4,500.

Please keep in mind that the son or daughter who will receive the property must be a legitimate child, stepchild or legally adopted. Moreover, the stamp duty is usually paid by the receiver, unless the parties have a different deal.

Stamp Duty Calculations

Now, let’s discuss the different scenarios of property transfers between family members as enumerated above. But first, let’s assume that the value of the home being transferred across all scenarios is half a million ringgit.

1. Husband fully owns a landed residence and wants to give it all to his beloved wife.

The stamp duty of RM9,000 is fully waived if the home is being transferred by way of love and affection.

2. Husband and wife co-equally owns a property. The former wants to give his 50 percent share to the latter so that the wife will fully own the property.

The stamp duty is RM6,000, which is based on RM250,000, half of the home’s value. Nevertheless, there is no need to pay this amount if the house is being transferred in such a way.

3. Father fully owns a house but wants to bequeath it to his only daughter while he is still alive.

This entails a stamp duty of RM9,000, but you only need to pay RM4,500 as half of the stamp duty has been waived if the property is being transferred by way of love and affection.

4. Husband and wife co-equally owns a property. The latter wants to transfer his 50 percent share to his son, while the former insists on keeping his full share.

The stamp duty is RM6,000, which is based on RM250,000, half of the home’s value. But you only need to fork out RM3,000 as 50 percent of the tax has been waived if the residence is being transferred in this way.

5. A brother plans to transfer a home to his younger sister.

A stamp duty of RM9,000 will be charged in full as property transfers between siblings and among those with lesser blood ties are not exempted from paying the stamp duty.

If you want to save on stamp duty when transferring property among family members the best way to go about it is between spouses, followed by parents to children or vice versa. For transfers involving other kinds of relatives, you will need to pay the full stamp duty. Furthermore, understating the property’s price is a big no-no as government officials can easily check its market value.

Malaysia – Transfer Of Intellectual Property Assets In Purchase Of Business – A Practical Consideration.

December 24, 2018 by Conventus Law

24 December, 2018

More often than not, purchase of atarget business would include the transfer from the seller to the purchaser of the relevant intellectual properties (“IPs”) which is used by the seller in respect of the target business.

This article is prepared to highlight on some practical considerations, which the purchaser needs to give particular attention to, when purchasing a business involving the transfer of the relevant IPs. Pre-contract stage: Conducting IP due diligence on the target business It is important for the purchaser to engage qualified intellectual property lawyers to conduct intellectual property due diligence on the target business as it would assist the purchaser, amongst others: in identifying the IPs relevant to the target business, which should form part of the IP assets to be transferred to the purchaser pursuant to the purchase of the business (“the Relevant IPs”).

The list of the Relevant IPs can be identified by circulating an IP due diligence checklist to the seller, interviewing the key management personnel and gathering/reviewing the relevant documents governing/ relating to the Relevant IPs; in ascertaining the ownership of the Relevant IPs. Ownership of the Relevant IPs can be determined by perusing the existing agreements governing the same. In case where the Relevant IPs are registrable IPs, to conduct relevant IP searches on the same at the relevant IP office to ascertain their ownership.

It is important that the seller is the owner of the Relevant IPs to ensure that upon successful transfer of the Relevant IPs from the seller to the purchaser, the purchaser will have the ‘freedom to operate’ the Relevant IPs without infringing any third party’s IP rights; in ascertaining the status of registration of the Relevant IPs. In case of: registrable IPs, and where the applications for the registration of the Relevant IPs have been filed with the relevant IP office, it is important to check the status of such applications i.e. whether registered, pending registration, abandoned, expired, withdrawn or removed from Register (for non-renewal, where renewal if allowed by the laws).

It is important that the Relevant IPs (which are registrable) to be registered to ensure that the seller has the exclusive right over the same; and registrable IPs, and where there is no application for the registration of the Relevant IPs have been filed with the relevant IP office, it is advisable to conduct the relevant searches on such Relevant IPs to ascertain the registrability of the same. in identifying whether there is any dealing on the Relevant IPs. Dealing on the Relevant IPs can be identified through existing licensing or assignment agreement involving the Relevant IPs. In case of licensing agreement, it is important to determine whether the said licensing arrangement is exclusive or non-exclusive. It is also important to look for clauses which may affect the purchase of the business; in identifying the liabilities attached to the Relevant IPs. To identify any existing litigation and/or infringement actions involving the Relevant IPs.

For example, in case where: the seller uses the Relevant IPs as collaterals in obtaining financing in which the consent of the financier is required before the same can be transferred from the seller to the purchaser; or the Relevant IPs are jointlyowned by the seller with any other third party where the consent of such other third party (as the co-owner) is required before the seller may transfer the Relevant IPs (which are jointly-owned) to the purchaser. Contract stage: Drafting and execution of the relevant agreements It is important to determine the relevant agreements or document to be executed by the seller and the purchaser giving effect to the transfer of the Relevant IPs from the seller to the purchaser. In purchase of business transaction, it is advisable for the seller and the purchaser to execute the following separate agreements for the following purposes: Sale and Purchase of Business Agreement (“SPBA”) or any other agreement of the same effect (such as Business Transfer Agreement) – to regulate the terms and conditions relating to the sale and purchase of the target business. Normally, SPBA will state that the Relevant IPs will be assigned from the seller to the purchaser pursuant to the sale and purchase of the target business subject to the execution of the Deed of Assignment between both parties; and Deed of Assignment (“DoA”) – to regulate the terms and conditions relating to the assignment of the Relevant IPs from the seller to the purchaser pursuant to such sale and purchase of the target business, rather than executing SPBA covering all the terms and conditions mentioned above. This is because, some countries require that any assignment of an intellectual property to be recorded with the relevant intellectual property office. The application to record such assignment (“Recordation of Assignment Application”) needs to be accompanied by the relevant supporting documentation.

The execution of two (2) separate agreements mentioned above by both the seller and the purchaser is purported to keep the details of the SPBA off publicly available registers since the submission of the DoA alone (having terms and conditions acceptable to the relevant intellectual property office) is sufficient to record such assignment. Further, please note that different countries might have different laws, requirements and procedures to record the assignment of an intellectual property. As such, in the event the purchase of business transaction involves the transfer of the Relevant IPs which are registered or applied for registration in various countries, it is highly advisable for the parties to execute a separate DoA for each country (for the transfer of the Relevant IPs in that country), each of which to be drafted in compliance with each country’s laws, requirements and procedures to facilitate the smooth approval of the Recordation of Assignment Application.

The agreement signed by the seller and the purchaser must attach a complete list of the Relevant IPs to be transferred from the seller to the purchaser pursuant to the purchase of the business together with the relevant information which is identifiable to such Relevant IPs (such as registration number, class(es) for registration, country(ies) in which they are being registered and etc). Should the intellectual property due diligence report highlighted on the rectification action required to be made by the seller towards the Relevant IPs to enable the same to be transferred to the purchaser free from any encumbrance (“Rectification Action”), such Rectification Action should be made as a condition precedent in the agreement towards the completion of the purchase of the business.

The agreement also needs to clearly mention: on what is to be assigned /transferred from the seller to the purchaser. For this, it is highly advisable for the purchaser to insist, inter alia: that the seller assigning/ transferring "all the right, title and interest" in the Relevant IPs rather than merely assigning/transferring "all the seller’s right, title and interest", for fear that the seller might not have such rights over the Relevant IPs; that the seller assigning/ transferring the right to sue for infringements that occurred before the date of the assignment/transfer and to retain any monies thereby generated; that the seller assigning/ transferring all the right, title and interest towards the Relevant IPs, which are registrable IPs but have yet to be registered as at the date of the assignment, once the same matures for registration; and that the assignment/transfer of the Relevant IPs excludes any liability incurred prior to the date of the assignment/ transfer. on the restrictions imposed on the seller pursuant to the assignment/transfer of the Relevant IPs. These include the restrictions on the seller to deal with the Relevant IPs or any other IPs which are similar or derived from the Relevant IPs which have been assigned/ transferred to the purchaser after the assignment/transfer date; and the obligations of the seller to fully indemnify the purchaser for any liability incurred by the purchaser resulting from the use of the Relevant IPs pursuant to the assignment/transfer or in the event of breach by the seller of any representation and warranty given in respect of the Relevant IPs. The agreement also must clearly state when the assignment/ transfer becomes effective. To protect the interest of the purchaser (based on the reason mentioned in the next heading below), it is highly advisable that the assignment/ transfer become effective upon the successful recordation of the assignment/transfer of the Relevant IPs with the relevant intellectual property office/ authority and the purchase consideration to be paid by the purchaser to the seller only after such successful recordation. In case where the agreement provides on the requirement to pay the purchase consideration upon the signing of the DoA, there must be a provision which requires the return of the paid purchase consideration from the seller to the purchaser should the assignment/ transfer of the Relevant IPs fail to be recorded with the relevant intellectual property office/authority. Post-contract stage: Recordation of the transfer/assignment. Since the seller’s name is still on the relevant intellectual property office/authority’s record (as the owner of the Relevant IPs) on the signing date of the SPBA and the DoA, it is necessary for the purchaser: to file the Recordation of Assignment Application with the relevant intellectual property office/ authority. Normally, Recordation of Assignment Application is filed on the day of the signing of the DoA or soonest possible after its signing. In the event the Relevant IPs are registered in various countries, there is a need to appoint local IP agent in each of such countries to attend to such recordation; and thereafter to ensure that the Recordation of Assignment Application is approved by the relevant intellectual property office/authority and the details of the purchaser (as the new owner of the Relevant IPs) have been reflected in the relevant intellectual property office/authority’s records.

This is to ensure that the purchaser is properly vested with the rights, title, benefits, entitlements and interest over the Relevant IPs. Failure to record the transfer or assignment can have serious adverse effect on the purchaser (as the new owner of the Relevant IPs). For example, in Malaysia, Section 47(3) of the Trade Marks Act 1976 clearly states that a document or instrument in respect of which no entry has been made in the Register shall not, unless the Court otherwise direct, be admissible in evidence in Court to prove title to a registered trade mark. This may cause the difficulty to the purchaser to initiate any trade mark infringement against any alleged infringer. For this reason, it is not uncommon for the SPBA to provide that successful recordation of the assignment of the Relevant IPs as a pre-condition of the completion of the business transfer.

The above merely highlight on some of the practical considerations relating to the purchase of business involving the transfer of IP assets. Since every transaction has its own specific and peculiar issues, it is highly advisable for the purchaser to appoint qualified IP lawyers to assist them from the commencement until the completion of such transaction.

Transfer of Property Ownership After Death in Malaysia, 7 Key Processes

Lack of understanding of how to execute the transfer of property or transferring the name of the homeowner’s home is one of the contributors to the increasing case of unintended properties in Malaysia. Hence, it is important for you to know the processes involved for transfer of property ownership after death in Malaysia. What happens to a house when the owner dies?

Table of Contents

How to Change House Owner Name? Here’s What You Need to Know About the Transfer of Property

There is no agreement and conflict between the beneficiaries to change the name of the owner’s home or feel that the process of claiming the estate is too complicated to be managed is one of the reasons why the estate is not claimed.

The problem of inheritance is not managed in Malaysia. According to Utusan Malaysia’s report, it is estimated at almost RM90 billion in total and unintended property. In fact, almost 90 percent of the total unemaculated property belongs to the Malays. How can the process of changing the homeowner died?

When the property owner dies without leaving any will, the beneficiaries are advised to discuss their best to get a verdict. Appoint a representative of the deceased’s heirs as property administrators. The appointment of the property administrator is intended to manage the distribution of the deceased to the heirs in accordance with the mutual agreement.

In the event that the consent to the distribution of the property left unsuccessful between the deceased’s heirs, the property administrator must file an application in the Syariah Court to obtain a faraid order. However, if all the beneficiaries agree with the distribution of the property, then the property administrator will need to file an application at the Small Inheritance Office (for a total property value of less than RM2 million). Or, you can also file an application for the Heirloom and Property Administrator in the High Court if the total value of the property exceeds RM2 million.

1. Property Value of Less Than RM2 Million

For categories of immovable property (such as homes or lands) less or less than RM2 million, all related matters to obtain the right to administer property can be done at the Land Office (Sub-Land Division) in their respective districts or at any land office nearby or according to the location of the property.

The approved administrator or approved representative must file an application at the Sub -Office of the Inheritance Office to obtain the inheritance order and the Property Administrator Order. This is to enable the abandoned properties to be divided into the heirs as agreed or in accordance with their respective parts.

2. Property Value Exceeds RM2 Million

However, if the total value of the property is worth more than RM2 million, any administration or sale of the property must be made in the High Court. Appointed representatives must file an application for an inheritance order and property administrator in the High Court.

After the inheritance order and the property administrator are received, the appointed property administrator must submit a transfer application under Section 346 (1) of the National Land Code at the relevant Land Office. During this submission process, you will need to include a copy of the original or a valid certified copy of the inheritance order and the property administrator.

The purpose of this transfer application is to enable the property left in the name of the deceased (the registered owner) to be transferred to the property administrator as the administrator or trustee of the property. It allows the property to be transferred from the name of the property administrator to the names of the deserves as stated in the inheritance order.

Therefore, you need to appoint a trustworthy, honest and responsible representative to avoid any difficulties during the process of changing the homeowner’s name.

7 Steps How to Change House Name

Once the property owner dies, the Land Office will usually freeze or block any transactions or decrease the name after receiving the information. This means that after the death of the original owner, the heirs need to make a name change by dealing with the land office according to certain procedures.

In short, how to change the name of the deceased owner is as follows:

If the distribution of the property involves faraid, the Land Office will usually continue to enter the name of the property administrator and the heirs as the new registered owner on the land grant according to their respective sections. After all the names of the beneficiaries are recorded in the grant, a new land grant will be released by the Land Office.

If the owner is registered in the grant more than one person, the Land Administrator will usually be held responsible for holding the original grant of the land. For more detailed procedures or any questions regarding this process, you are advised to refer to the Small Landing Office for more info.

What Else Do You Need to Do?

Home ownership or change the name of the deceased owner should be done immediately as soon as the property owner dies. It is best to have this process after reaching a mutual agreement. Discuss with other beneficiaries to reach an agreement to avoid misunderstandings or disputes.

Basically, consent can be reached with the following three methods including faraid, unique or tolerant methods (give to the heirs or siblings in need). However, upon completion of the process of changing the home of the owner or the sale of the property, the heir must resolve all the expenses related to the deceased with the proceeds of the sale before distributing to the beneficiary including:

Mandarin Chinese and English transfer during German language acquisition examples of structural properties transfer

) --> Mandarin Chinese and English transfer during German language acquisition examples of structural properties transfer. International Journal of Liberal Arts and Social Science, 3 (5). pp. 95-106. ISSN 2307-924X

The transfer between background languages and a target language is an important issue in foreign language acquisition. This study investigates the common German grammatical errors in written form, both morphological and syntactical, made by Malaysian Chinese students at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), and the correlation of these errors with structural differences between the students’ background languages and the target language, i.e. the German language. The principal objective of this study is to ascertain the direct correlation between the influence of the students’ dominant language (Mandarin Chinese) and the language of instruction (English) with the extent of grammatical errors made whilst acquiring the German language. The students’ perception of typological similarity between background languages and the target language was investigated, as all participants predicted that German and English languages have typological similarity. The study results revealed that common errors were influenced by background language as well as intralingual transfer.

How to transfer property as a gift.

Many parents late in their lives opt to give their home to a son or daughter rather than selling it. The process of transferring property to a family member as a gift is fairly straightforward, but before making the transfer, savvy parents should check into the income-tax ramifications of giving real estate as a gift, both for the giver and the recipients.

Price the Property

Order a professional appraisal of the real estate you intend to give. By putting an official price on your gift, you are preparing for any questions the Internal Revenue Service might have later regarding the property's value. As of the tax year 2016, the IRS allows an annual gift exclusion of $14,000 per person involved in the transaction. If you and your spouse give property to your daughter and her husband, that amounts to $56,000 – for the four people involved in the exchange – in total value that you can transfer per year without a tax penalty. The value of your real estate probably exceeds this amount.

Consider Your Tax Options

To overcome the tax restrictions, one option is to give the fraction of your property that represents $56,000 each year to your daughter and son-in-law until you equal its appraised value. For example, if your appraisal comes in at $448,000, you can divide your gift by transferring one-eighth of it each year for eight years. You will have to complete a transfer deed each of these years and have the home reappraised each year to be able to assess its accurate value as the real estate market fluctuates. A second option is to wait and let the property transfer via inheritance to your children. A third option is to give the entire property at once and pay the tax penalty.

Consider the Recipient's Plans for the Property

To ensure that your real estate gift will not end up costing your offspring money in taxes, discuss your child's plans for the property. According to federal tax laws, the tax basis of your property when you give it away is the price you paid for it plus the cost of improvements you made. So, even if your house appraises today at $448,000, if you paid $50,000 for it 30 years ago and made $50,000 worth of upgrades, the tax basis of the property you give is $100,000.

If your recipient plans to sell, any sales income above that $100,000 tax basis is fair game for capital-gains tax. To be able to claim a capital-gains exclusion, the recipient must live in the home for two out of the prior five years before selling. If necessary, check with your tax adviser to see how the current capital-gains exclusion amount jives with your child's plans to sell the property.

Fill Out a Transfer Deed

In order to legally transfer your real-estate holding, you must generate a deed that contains a legal description of the property, available from your county assessor, plus the signatures of the givers and the recipients. The most common deed for transfer of property among family members is a quit-claim deed. Because a quit-claim deed contains no implied or guaranteed assurances that the property is free of all liens or encumbrances that might challenge ownership, the element of trust between family members is essential in the transaction. Where you must fill in the conveyance price – what you are charging your offspring for the property – most people fill in “love and affection” or a token amount such as $1.
