Lost title applications

Crownmark Lawyers assists clients with lost or destroyed title applications where an original certificate of title cannot be located. While many property transactions now operate electronically, issues relating to lost titles can still arise and must be resolved correctly before a transaction can proceed.

​

We advise clients on the steps required to replace a lost title and prepare the necessary documentation to support an application to the land titles office. This includes assessing the circumstances in which the title was lost, advising on statutory declarations and supporting evidence, and managing the application process through to registration.

​

Crownmark Lawyers works carefully to ensure that applications are accurate, complete, and compliant with land titles requirements, recognising that errors or omissions can cause delay or rejection. We provide clear guidance throughout the process so clients understand what is required and how long the process is likely to take.

​

Lost title applications often arise in the context of property sales, refinancing, estate matters, or long-held property interests. Our role is to resolve the issue efficiently so that the underlying transaction or matter can proceed without unnecessary complication.
