Torrens Assurance Fund Claims
If you have received what you consider to be an unnecessary requisition or incorrect decision from NSW Land Registry Services, consider an internal review and/or appeal of the decision. We can also advise you of any potential claims under the Torrens Assurance Fund. A person can suffer loss and damage as a result of an error, correction or fraud in the land register. Persons who suffer financial loss may have a compensable loss recoverable from the Torrens Assurance Fund.
Land Title Health Check
Ask us for advice about the state of your land title and how we can assist you to remove redundant recordings on your land title. A land title free of obsolete encumbrances, untrammelled by recordings of unused interests (easements, covenants) will be an attractive selling point to persons interested in your land.
For more information on this, please see the following page: 'Land Title Health Check'.
Wills and Estates
Estate planning is not often at the forefront of most people's minds because thinking about one's mortality is a difficult thing to do. However, estate planning is critical in helping the people close to you understand your wishes. Estate planning documents are helpful for appointing persons to act on your behalf you when you are unable and to explain your wishes about health decisions during your lifetime, and to determine how to distribute your assets after you die.
We can prepare documents to support all your estate planning needs, from wills, testamentary wish statement, powers of attorney, appointment of enduring guardians (including advanced health care directives). We can assist in obtaining a grant of Probate or Administration in deceased estates.
