Company Incorporation with Real Estate Contributions

Incorporating a company entails choices that will shape its operation long after registration. Using a property as a capital contribution involves both corporate law and rules governing transfer of real estate.

What to keep in mind

Confirm title, encumbrances, valuation, required deed or formal instrument, property registry records and tax effects.

A capital subscription does not automatically transfer ownership of the underlying property.

Distinctions often confused

Contributing a property to capital differs from merely making it available for company use.

Frequently asked questions

Can a company be incorporated with a property as its principal asset?
Yes where the relevant legal and filing conditions are satisfied.
Are mortgages or existing liens released by incorporation?
No. Encumbrances and third-party rights must be analyzed separately.
