Property & Conveyancing
At Karnib Law Group, we understand the significance and the potential anxiety that accompanies the decision to purchase or sell a home or investment property. Our committed team is devoted to simplifying this process for you.
Leveraging our extensive experience in property transactions, our seasoned lawyers specialise in navigating the complex legal intricacies associated with contracts related to sales, acquisitions, residential leases, and commercial leases.
Conveyancing is the process of transferring and registering property title from one party to another. This transfer can be prompted by various circumstances such as the buying or selling of real estate, property settlements in family law cases, or transfers between family members, trusts, or corporate subsidiaries. When purchasing residential property, there are typically three main stages involved: pre-purchase investigations, contract exchange, and settlement. The goal of the conveyancing process is to ensure that the new owner acquires a clear title, has knowledge of any registered interests on the property (such as easements or rights of way), is content with its designated use, and understands the condition of any buildings. Achieving these objectives involves conducting thorough searches and inquiries both before and after the exchange of contracts. Additionally, it is important to address stamp duty and GST considerations during this process.

Wills & Estates
Ensuring the ongoing financial security of yourself and your family necessitates careful wills and estate planning. By implementing appropriate measures to protect your assets, you can ensure enduring stability for your loved ones.
A comprehensive estate plan goes beyond simply drafting a valid Will and involves evaluating different facets of your life, as well as your financial and personal situation. A legally binding Will dictates the beneficiaries of your estate upon your passing and designates the individuals responsible for managing it – those selected as your executors/trustees.
A Will can range from straightforward to intricate and can also designate guardians for minor children and outline instructions for funeral arrangements. Regrettably, despite good intentions, failure to clearly communicate how an estate should be distributed can result in confusion and unjust allocation of a deceased family member's assets.
If you are considering creating a will to effectively articulate your desires, or if you believe that you have been unjustly treated or neglected in a will, our specialised team is ready to guide you through the process.
