Deceased Estates
At the passing of a loved one that last thing you often want to deal with is all the paperwork that can come with it. Dealing with the land held in the name of a Registered Proprietor after their passing is something that needs to pass through the Land Titles Office. Patterson Conveyancers can assist you at this difficult time by advising, preparing and lodging all the required documents making the transfer to the survivor as seamless as possible.
How the Land Titles Office deals with the land will depend on how the deceased held the property; for instance whether they were Sole Owner, Joint Tenants, Tenants in Common or Trustee. The majority of couples hold land as Joint Tenants making the transfer of the property quite seamless after the correct Applications to Register Death are lodged. In other circumstances however the process can be slightly more involved with a number of other forms and documents required. As Licensed Conveyancers based in Port Lincoln, South Australia we can handle the entire process of a deceased estate taking one less burden off your to do list.
