We are introducing the ability to seamlessly move between the PEXA platform and the e-Conveyancing Community using one set of PEXA credentials. This feature will be introduced as a beta. We will post more information on the community on June 16 on how to be involved.
Single Sign-On (SSO) means you will no longer need another set of credentials to sign into the Community. While you’re in the PEXA platform, you can now easily open the Community where you’ll be able to keep up to date with new product releases and functionality, complete the PEXA Certified program, connect with and ask your peers any questions about PEXA and the wider e-conveyancing Community, and much more.
If you’re interested in being involved in the beta, please comment below or email pexacommunity@pexa.com.au.

- Frequently Represented Parties – Individuals

From release R8.0.1, lawyers and conveyancers will be able to create Individuals as Frequently Represented Parties. This will streamline the process of creating parties as well as auto-representation of on-title parties, which is particularly useful in large developments.

- Organisation Trust Details in Frequently Represented Parties
-
The existing Frequently Represented Parties functionality for Organisations has been updated to cater for Trusts.

- File Description types are now categorised
-
We’re making it easier for you to distinguish between general file types and attachment types when uploading files to the Workspace. The items in the File Description is now grouped into categories of General Files and Land Registry Attachment Files. This makes it easier for you to find the right file when uploading a file.
The two category types:
- General Files— used for files that are shared amongst participants, or for files that are kept as records in your Workspace.
- Land Registry Attachment Files— used for attaching additional files to a Workspace Document that support your PEXA Lodgement.
In addition, we’ve also added a new menu item–Others–to the File Description drop-down menu. This option allows you to enter a custom file description for an uploaded file. The description you enter is visible to other members in the Workspace.

- Ability for Transferees to provide Trust Details (QLD)
-
The QLD Transfer has been updated to capture Trust Details of a Transferee proprietor group that is to hold the Title in a capacity of Trustee.
On the Tenancy Details screen, a new option Are any proprietor groups in this document acting as Trustee? is available.
Changing the default from NO to YES, indicates that at least one Transferee is to hold the Title in the capacity of Trustee.
Note: You will be required to continue with the practice of supplying the Trust Name in the Form 24A.
Note: If you use PEXA to complete this type of transfer in QLD, you will not be required to register the Deed of Trust with the Land Registry. The incoming Mortgagee may view the form 20, which is appended to the transfer, if they wish to view the trust details.
