Overview

---

If a Sole Proprietor on a property title has passed away, then a Transmission application should be made to appoint a representative to an estate.

Note:

• If all Joint Tenants have passed away, a Surivorship will need to be lodged for each pre-deceased joint tenant and a Transmission for the Primary deceased. Please see Complete a Survivorship—with Transmission (SA) for instructions on how to prepare this Workspace. 
• If the tenancy is Tenants in Common a transmission application cannot be processed in PEXA

A Transmission can be lodged:

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

In SA, you are required to provide supporting evidence of the death such as Registrars Certificate, or Letter of Administration. Use the following steps to complete a Transmission in South Australia in PEXA.
