For
Land Registery Forms
( MOST IMPORTANT )
Generally, a person
selling or mortgaging a property is the
registered proprietor. To
prove
they are the
registered
proprietor
and therefore
entitled to sign,
parties should be able to provide at
least one
of the following:
• local government
rates notice
showing ownership of the property
• recently issued
current title
search statement showing their name
• recently issued
registration confirmation
statement
• current
certificate of title
(if one exists).
•
copy
of the
contract of sale
•
All items
on the form should be
completed prior
to
it being witnessed. If there have been
any alterations
made to information on
the form, these should be initialled by
all the parties involved.
Each of the above forms
of ‘evidence’ contains details about the
property (such as lot on plan
description or
title
reference),
which should be compared to the
information provided on the form the JP
has been asked to witness.
If the details do
not match, the JP should
decline
to witness the signature.
While ownership has to
be proven, a new purchaser presenting a
Transfer and/or Mortgage document for
witnessing may not be able to provide
the above evidence as they are not yet
recorded in the land register.
In such cases, they may
be able to provide a
copy
of the
contract of sale
as evidence of their entitlement to sign
the land registry form/s.
JP Recordkeeping
The Registrar of Titles has extensive
powers of formal inquiry and
may require a JP to produce records
relating to land registry forms they
have witnessed.
JPs should therefore record the
details of any relevant information
(such as:
title reference, property
description, names of parties
and type of transaction) and the
documentation that was supplied as
proof of identity and evidence of
the signatory’s entitlement to sign.
It is also important to record
information on any occasions when a
JP has
declined
to witness
a land registry form. If the
circumstances warrant it, they may then
wish to consider
advising
the Registrar of Titles of these details
