INHERITANCE
Technically, there are no applicable estate duties or inheritance taxes on property.
Stamp duties are however payable for the ´Affidavit of Value of Deceased Estate´. This duty is levied on the value of the net assets (estate). A family home transferred upon death may be exempted from stamp duty.
