“I bought my property years ago. Why am I only receiving this notice now?”

This is one of the most common questions we receive.

Many property owners are surprised when the developer suddenly asks them to complete the Perfection of Transfer or Perfection of Charge years after collecting the keys.

Receiving the notice does not mean something has gone wrong. In most cases, it simply means the individual or strata title has now been issued and the registration process can begin.

Our comprehensive guide explains:

• What Perfection of Transfer means
• What Perfection of Charge means
• Whether both are required
• The legal process step by step
• Costs involved
• Common real-life situations
• Frequently asked questions

如果没有立遗嘱，遗产一定全部归配偶吗？

很多人都认为，只要没有留下遗嘱，配偶便会自动继承全部遗产。

事实并非如此。

对于马来西亚非穆斯林而言，当一个人没有留下有效遗嘱而离世时，其遗产将依据 《1958年分配法令》（Distribution Act 1958） 的规定进行分配。

谁有权继承？
✔ 配偶
✔ 子女（Issue）
✔ 父母
✔ 没有配偶、子女及父母时，又由谁继承？
✔ 政府什么时候才会继承？

这组图表为您整理了马来西亚无遗嘱继承的基本法律规则，让您快速了解遗产分配方式。

Who inherits your estate if you pass away without a Will?

Many people assume that everything automatically goes to their spouse. In reality, this is not always the case.

For non-Muslims in Malaysia, the distribution of an estate where there is no valid Will is governed by the Distribution Act 1958. Depending on who survives the deceased, the estate may be distributed among the spouse, issue, parents or other relatives according to the statutory order of succession.

Our infographic provides a simple overview of the rules under section 6 of the Distribution Act 1958, including what happens when there is no spouse, issue or parent.

外国人在马来西亚买房，需要缴付多少印花税？

自 2026 年 1 月 1 日 起，外国买家购买马来西亚住宅产业的印花税制度已作出重大调整。若不了解相关规定，可能会低估购房成本，影响整个交易预算。

一般而言：

• 住宅产业（Residential Property）：印花税为房产价值的 8%
• 商业、工业及其他非住宅产业：印花税为房产价值的 4%

除了印花税税率外，外国买家还应注意多个重要法律事项，包括：

• 印花税是否按买卖价格或市价计算？
• Form 14A 与 Deed of Assignment 有什么分别？
• 哪些人士或公司会被视为“外国买家”？
• 外国公司是否同样适用 8% 印花税？
• 是否仍需申请州政府批准（State Authority Consent）？
• 印花税与产业盈利税（RPGT）有什么分别？

我们已整理一篇完整法律指南，深入解析外国人在马来西亚购置产业时有关印花税的法律规定、常见误解及实务建议，希望协助买家在签署买卖合约前充分了解相关法律责任。

Foreign Buyer? Know the Stamp Duty Before You Purchase.

Buying property in Malaysia involves more than agreeing on the purchase price. Foreign purchasers should understand the stamp duty payable before committing to the transaction.

Current stamp duty rates:

• Residential Property – 8%
• Commercial, Industrial and Other Non-Residential Property – 4%

Stamp duty is generally assessed based on the higher of the purchase price or market value.

Our team can advise you on:

* Stamp duty implications
* State Authority consent (where applicable)
* Minimum purchase price requirements
* Sale and Purchase Agreements
* Property transfers
* MM2H and foreign ownership requirements

外国人可以在槟城买房吗？购买前必须了解的法律规定

许多外国买家、Malaysia My Second Home（MM2H）参与者及马来西亚永久居民（PR），在计划购买槟城房产时，都会面对同样的问题：

• 外国人可以买哪些类型的房产？
• 最低购房价格是多少？
• 公寓与有地住宅的规定有什么不同？
• 是否必须申请州政府批准（State Consent）？
• MM2H 与 PR 是否享有不同的购房资格？

事实上，槟城对于外国人购房设有最低购房价格（Controlled Pricing），并会根据买家的身份、房产类型及房产所在地（槟岛或威省），适用不同的规定。

不少买家在支付订金后，才发现有关房产并不符合购买资格，导致交易延误，甚至增加不必要的法律风险及额外成本。

为了帮助海外买家更清楚了解相关规定，我们整理了一份完整指南，内容包括：

• 外国人在槟城可以买哪些房产
• 槟城最新最低购房价格门槛（Controlled Pricing）
• MM2H 与永久居民（PR）的购房资格
• 州政府批准（State Consent）的申请要求
• 外国买家最常见的错误及注意事项
