Buying or selling property in Queensland? Don’t leave the contract until the last minute.

At OneStop Legal, we assist with fixed-fee conveyancing for buyers and sellers across Queensland.

Before signing a contract, it is important to have the terms reviewed so you understand your rights, obligations, finance dates, special conditions, settlement date, disclosure documents and any risks that may cause delay.

For Queensland sellers, the new seller disclosure requirements mean disclosure documents must be prepared and provided before the buyer signs the contract. Getting this wrong can create unnecessary risk, delay, or complications later in the transaction.

Settlement delays can also occur on the day of settlement. Under standard REIQ contracts, either party may be able to extend settlement by up to 5 business days, which can affect moving plans, finance, removalists and related settlements.

Selling from $595 inc GST

Who can legally own property in Queensland?

Many people are surprised to learn that property ownership isn’t limited to individuals. Depending on the circumstances, property may also be owned through:
- trusts
- companies
- self-managed super funds (SMSFs)
or jointly with others.

There are also important considerations when purchasing property for children or using trust structures as part of estate planning.

Our latest blog explains:
✔ age considerations for property ownership
✔ buying property through a trust
✔ SMSF property ownership rules
✔ joint ownership structures
✔ important legal and tax considerations
📌 Understanding the ownership structure before signing a contract can make a significant difference later on.

Leaving property in your will? The structure matters.

A life interest and an outright transfer may sound similar — but they can lead to very different outcomes for your family.

Who can live in the property?
Who actually owns it?
What happens when it’s eventually sold?

These are all questions that depend on how your will is drafted.

Our latest blog explains the difference in simple terms, so you can make informed decisions when planning your estate.

Property in your will? This could affect your family more than you think.

The ATO’s draft ruling has clarified that simply allowing someone to live in a property after you pass away may not be enough to preserve capital gains tax concessions.

If the right to live in the home isn’t clearly written into your will, it could impact the tax outcome when the property is eventually sold.

Estate planning isn’t just about who gets what it’s about making sure it’s structured properly. If your will includes property, it may be worth reviewing how it’s set up.

📞 Contact OneStop Legal to discuss your estate planning options.
