Overview

---

If a Sole Proprietor, a Tenant in Common, or all parties in a Joint Tenancy on a title have passed away, then you can lodge a Transmission Application to appoint a legal representative to an estate. This allows an Executor, Executor by Representation, Administrator, or Trustee to obtain ownership of the title to deal with the Estate.

A Transmission can be lodged:

• As a standalone application
• Together in the same Workspace as a Transfer

When lodging a Transmission Application in NSW, the following information is required:

• Details of Death
• Evidence Details
• Consent

In NSW, you are not required to submit supporting documents when lodging Transmission Applications in PEXA, however, ensure that you are in possession of the correct documentation.

Alternatively, if a beneficiary has been nominated, then the ownership of title can be directly transferred to the beneficiary by completing a Transmission Direct to Beneficiary.
