Can WA Sellers now transact by PEXA under a Power of Attorney (PoA)?

Hi @SarahI

If you are looking for WA specific PEXA info, Have a look at the WA group... https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Western-Australia-Group/ct-p/WesternAustraliaGroup

Otherwise, the search function in this community does yield results for 'Power of Attorney' e-settlements...

Hi @SarahI

Yes, you can complete a PEXA transfer when acting for the seller who has a power of attorney. You would need to undertake the normal due diligence as to the identity and authority of the PoA in the first instance, as you would in a paper world. You also need to obtain a Client Authorisation Form from the PoA, in addition to completing a VOI.

I hope that answers your query.

Thanks

Hello,

Does the Enduring Power of Attorney document still need to be registered at Landgate?

Thank you

Hi @ChampionBay

Yes the EPOA still needs to be registered with Landgate prior to settlement.

Yes, you can make a PEXA transfer acting on behalf of a seller who has power of attorney. You will also need to obtain a customer authorization form from the PoA in addition to completing the VOI. First, you'll need to do the usual PoA identity and authorization due diligence, just like in the paper world. You can perform a PEXA transfer acting on behalf of a merchant who has power of attorney. Or, you can get help from an independent advocacy service that will help you with this and explain if you don't have time to do it yourself.
