Hello Ana, you can either receive the property by means of a purchase sale agreement, which attracts transfer (and capital gains) taxes, or via a gift agreement. Both entail significant taxes, with a minimum of 10% in the first option and far more in the second option. A purchase sale however can be challenged where no price is paid, as the transaction would be legally flawed.
A third option is to transfer the property to a company, of which you become the sole director and thus control it. At a later stage you may wish to transfer the shares, under certain tax conditions. This is the cheapest option, by far, to have control of the property.
