Company or trust transfer · Dubai

Corporate transfers begin with authority.

A property transfer involving a company, trust, foundation or another ownership structure cannot be classified from the title deed alone. The entity, jurisdiction, ownership chain, authority to transfer and proposed recipient must be reviewed before the registration route, document requirements and professional fee can be confirmed.

  • Company, trust and foundation structures
  • Corporate authority review
  • Board and shareholder approvals
  • Authorised-signatory verification
  • Scope and fee after review

Initial review

What we establish first.

The description used by the parties does not itself determine the DLD procedure or applicable charges. We establish the structure, authority and property dependencies before confirming the route.

01

The registered owner

We identify the entity appearing on the title deed and whether its information and reference are current within the DLD system.

02

The proposed recipient

We establish whether the property is moving to an individual, another company, a trust or foundation, or another ownership structure.

03

The basis of transfer

We identify whether the proposed change is a sale, gift, corporate restructuring, distribution or another form of transfer.

04

Entity jurisdiction and status

We review where the entity was incorporated, whether its licence and registration remain current and whether additional registration, attestation or translation requirements may apply.

05

Corporate and signatory authority

We identify whether the constitutional documents permit the transaction, which approvals are required, who may sign and how that authority is evidenced.

06

Property dependencies

We identify any mortgage, restriction, developer NOC, compliance inspection or other requirement affecting the property.

Document readiness

Documents commonly reviewed.

The exact list depends on the entity and jurisdiction. Begin with the information available, and we will identify the relevant evidence.

Standard company-to-individual route

A published service where the structure is clear.

A standard sale from a DLD-registered company to an individual purchaser may qualify for the published Company-to-Individual service. The published fee applies only after the company, authority, signatory and transaction route have been confirmed.

Trust, foundation, foreign-entity and other non-standard structures remain subject to a case-specific scope and quotation.

Official process

DLD remains the registering authority.

DLD requires a company to be registered within its system before applicable real estate transaction services can be completed. The required company documents and registration conditions depend on the entity type and jurisdiction.

Conveyance.ae coordinates the procedural file. It does not provide corporate, legal, tax or trust-structuring advice and cannot determine the legal or tax consequences of a proposed transfer.

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers before requesting review.

01Can a trust or foundation automatically be registered as the property owner?

It should not be assumed. The structure, jurisdiction, legal identity and proposed DLD route must be reviewed before eligibility or documentation can be confirmed.

02What if the company is not registered with DLD?

A company-registration procedure may be required before the property transaction can proceed.

03Is selling the company the same as transferring the property?

No. A transfer of company shares may leave the registered property owner unchanged and may follow a different procedure from transferring the property itself.

04Is a board resolution always enough?

Not necessarily. The resolution must be considered alongside the company’s constitutional documents, ownership records and signatory authority. Additional approvals, notarisation, attestation or translation may be required.

05Can Conveyance.ae advise on the tax consequences?

No. Tax, corporate and trust-structuring advice must be obtained from appropriately qualified advisers. We coordinate the property-registration procedure after the proposed structure has been established.

06Is the professional fee always AED 9,999 + VAT?

No. That is the published professional fee for a qualifying standard Company-to-Individual service. Other company, trust, foundation and non-standard structures are priced after review.

07What if the property is mortgaged?

The lender’s requirements and any required mortgage settlement, release, consent or new financing must be incorporated into the route before the scope is confirmed.
