Use this form when you are transferring freehold title of an undivided share in parcel of land (or Strata Unit) to another person including:

  • Third Parties
  • Family Members

  • Transfers where there is no change in beneficial ownership (ie. from an individual to a wholly owned company)
 

An undivided share is a proportional ownership (ie. 1/3)  of a property, held in conjunction with other shareholders.  One share in the property can be held by multiple persons, however only as joint proprietors (ie.  with all owners having an equal undivisable ownership of the share).


Submission Requirements

In submitting this form you should enclose the following (where applicable):

  • Completed submission record, ensuring checklist to the rear of the form is completed
  • Consent of other shareholders to the Transfer (except where the Transfer is to an existing proprietor in common of the same land).  Consent of the other shareholders cannot be unreasonably withheld.  If this is not supplied the Registrar will seek consent, which will result in a delay in the completion of Registration. 
  • Copy of Certificate of Good Standing (companies only)
  • Permission to hold property from Minister of Finance (exempt companies only)
  • Removal of any Restrictions or Cautions (if required)
  • Certified Copies for Caymanian Stamp Duty Concession
  • Waiver letter from Minister of Finance (if applicable)
  • Chattels List (if deduction for Chattels made)
  • Purchase Agreement or Receipt (if ad-valorem Stamp Duty paid on Purchase Agreement)
  • Copy of birth/marriage certificates for related parties (if Transfer is for Natural Love & Affection)
  • Land Certificate (if issued)
 

Once signed the form should be submitted to the Lands & Survey Department within 45 days of first signature, unless signed outside of the Cayman Islands , to avoid the accrual of late submission penalties.

Information on Specific Transaction Types

  • Natural Love and Affection

  • Property may pass for natural love and affection between:
    • Father or Mother to Daughter or Son
    • Brother and Sister, providing that they have the same parent
    • Grandfather or Grandmother, and Grandson or Granddaughter
  • Property may pass between extended family members in a single transaction providing that evidence of the relationship chain can be shown. The Stamp Duty fee shall apply separately to each ‘link’ in the relationship chain. i.e., a Transfer from Uncle to Niece would be considered as Uncle – Mother (CI $50), Mother – Daughter (CI $50). No further Registration Fees would be applied.
