Overview
PEXA supports the electronic lodgement of a Transmission Application in Victoria. If a Sole Proprietor, a Tenant in Common, or all tenants in a Joint Tenancy on a property title have passed away, then a Transmission application should be made to appoint a representative to an estate. Transmission Applications in PEXA cannot currently be used for scenarios involving bankruptcy, but we will advise you further once this is available.
A Transmission can be lodged:
- Standalone, or in combination with a Mortgage, Discharge of Mortgage or Caveat
- With or without financial settlement.
Currently, PEXA does not support lodging a Transmission in combination with a Transfer. In such cases, you would need to lodge and register the Transmission first, and then lodge a Transfer via a separate Workspace.
Important! Ensure the Transmission is lodged and registered prior to creating a Transfer Workspace.
Note: You are not required to provide supporting documentation in PEXA to lodge a Transmission but please ensure that you are in possession of the correct documentation.
