VIC – Conveyancing – Transfer of Land Act Forms
We will be shortly releasing the NEW FORMAT Caveat and Withdrawal of Caveat forms and would like to take the opportunity to remind clients that the following Transfer of Land Act Forms are formatted in LEAP in accordance with strict Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure requirements and must not be altered in any way:
- Transfer of Land T1 NEW FORMAT
- Mortgage NEW FORMAT
- Discharge of Mortgage NEW FORMAT
We have received feedback that LEAP clients have been modifying these forms, in particular the Transfer of Land. We have been made aware of modifications such as:
- altering the wording of the signing clauses,
- removing headings in the form deemed unnecessary and
- adding additional spacing in order to have the signing clauses for the Transferees and Transferors appear on separate pages.
We are advised that these types of modifications to the form are unacceptable, and we are concerned that if this continues to happen it may affect our permission to reproduce these forms in LEAP.
We reiterate that the Transfer of Land Act forms must not be altered in any way, and ask that if you have any queries regarding the use and application of the forms you refer to the information contained in the Guides on the DTPLI website at:
http://www.dtpli.vic.gov.au/property-and-land-titles/forms-guides-and-fees#guides
We also provide Matter and Document Guides to assist you when opening matters to identify critical information to complete in order to maximise the automation in forms and precedents. To view and use these guides click on the links below:
