There is a Word version and an Interactive PDF version of this form.

The Word version (LL-FED-GEN-056) will populate Client 1 and Client 2 from the first card, but if there is only 1 client on the 1st card it will then bring in the next client (i.e. Client 2 table card) as Client 2 on the form. If clients have more than 2 clients, they will need to prepare a separate form and replace applicable references.

Example:

If there are 3 clients on the matter, the first 2 clients (Client 1, Client 2) will populate the form when running the form. However, to populate Client 3’s details into the form, the form will need to be duplicated and Client 1 will need to be replaced with Client 3. If there isn’t a fourth client (Client 4), details in the Client 2 panel will need to be deleted as otherwise, the form will populate the details of Client 2 by default.

The Interactive PDF version (LL-FED-GEN-046) will automate every Client on your matter regardless the card type or how many clients on one card. The Interactive PDF version will also default execution clause/s radio buttons from the card type, however, this can be changed manually by you by simply changing the radio button selection.

Example:

NOTE: *Version 6 of the Client Authorisation is produced by ARNECC and we can’t control its functionality as designed by ARNEC – therefore pages 2 and 3 of the PDF document appear to be blank, however, these act as “placeholders”. The full document consisting of 4 pages etc are actually available and will display when you go into Print preview mode

Example:

LEAP has reproduced Discharge Authority forms where updated publications have been provided by the relevant financial institutions.

In some circumstances, some financial institutions have moved towards an online smartform system and updated paper publications of discharge authorities are no longer available.

The following details must be inputted in the matter so as to ensure for correct and complete Stamp Duty calculations:

Conveyancing Details table layout > Purchase Price:

Calendar & Tasks tab:

• Contract Date
• Adjustment Date
• Settlement Date

If the client is eligible for any concessions, the relevant details must be inputted in the Stamp Duty tab in the Conveyancing Details table layout.

NOTE: Not all concessions in the layout will apply.

if the Buyer/Purchaser is a Foreign Purchaser, different Stamp Duty Rates apply and the Foreign Purchaser field must be completed.

A foreign purchaser can be:

• Foreign natural person: A person who is not a citizen or permanent resident of Australia, or a New Zealand citizen with a Special Category Visa (Subclass 444); or
• Foreign corporation: Corporation incorporated outside Australia, or corporations incorporated in Australia, but a foreign natural person, foreign corporation or trustee of a foreign trust has a controlling interest in those corporations;
• Trustee of a foreign trust: A trust where a foreign natural person, foreign corporation or trustee of another foreign trust, has a substantial intersest in the trust estate of that trust.

Stamp Duty calculations can be checked on the Victorian State Revenue Office (SRO) website: https://www.sro.vic.gov.au/calculators/land-transfer-calculator

These forms will populate for up to 5 clients.

If there are 2 people on the 1st card, it will bring in the 2nd client at the end.

If this formatting is not desired, there is the option to remove the underlying mergefield coding as well as the option to replace references.

The majority of the LIV forms are protected by way of copyright and LEAP currently do not hold the relevant licence to reproduce these forms.

InfoTrack does have some LIV forms available, you can view these through the InfoTrack and LEAP integration or by contacting InfoTrack.

LIV forms can also be obtained directly by purchasing them from the LIV Bookshop or any relevant legal stationer that supplies those forms.

These documents have been coded so that if the first card (and it must be the first card) has 2 clients on the matter, it will automatically classify them respectively as Client 1 and Client 2.
