"Why Settlement Pursuant to a Court Order will save you thousands:  Couple A were getting divorced and decided amicably to do it themselves and transfer the property from the husband to to the wife. They organized this themselves and their settlement agent failed to tell them that  if they applied through the Courts they can avoid paying Stamp Duty on the Transfer as the transfer is stamped "Pursuant to the Court Order" which incurs only a $20 Stamp Duty fee.  Imagine   their shock when they  discovered that they had to pay  $25,000 in stamp duty .
