Overview
Transfer (Causa Mortis) is a device by which an heir is entitled, on production of evidence, to acquire a movable and/or immovable property on the death of a person.
What you'll get
After a causa mortis claim is received from the heirs’ notary/lawyer, Treasury obtains from the Malta Stock Exchange (MSE) a confirmation of:
- MGS holdings registered solely in name of the deceased and/or jointly held with other persons, and MGS holdings held in the name of other persons but from which the deceased enjoyed the right of usufruct.
- Until the finalisation of transmission/transfer of securities, the MSE accounts in respect of the above-mentioned holdings are blocked by the Central Securities Depository (CSD) and no trading in these MGSs will be allowed. For further information visit the Treasury website.
Eligibility
To be submitted by a qualified person such as a notary or lawyer.
How to apply
The causa mortis claim submitted by the notary/lawyer must be accompanied by duly stamped documents and certified in ink by the notary/lawyer for their authentication.
