VIC- Transmission and Survivorship

[JessHall]

If both joint tenants are deceased, can we do just a Transmission, or do we have to do a Survivorship followed by a Transmission? I note on LUV's wesbite, the LPR guide (which related to the pre-PEXA paper forms) says that if both are deceased, you have to do a Transmission only.

Hi @JessHall,

Great question!  In Victoria you can complete a Transmission Application where both parties are deceased, as opposed to a Suriviorship and then a Transmission, following the paper format.

When creating the Transmission document where multiple parties are deceased, it will ask you which party is the 'Primary Deceased'.  This is the party who passed away most recently.

Hope that helps!
