Wouldn't the better question be who witnessed her signature on the Transfer?

What was the purchase price of the property? I know the Queensland LTO has a sliding scale on their registration fees. Your summary of the statement didn't include LTO fees. Could they be the difference?

A Power of Attorney means squat once the principal dies. The only people who can control the estate are the executor (by the sounds of things, the mother). As Terry says, if she is unable or unwilling, then the court can appoint someone else.

I had a pair of earphones that went through the wash, and then the dryer. They still work now, and that was about 5 years ago.

Tell him he has until date X before you report the car as stolen or take it to the wrecker.

I'm guessing this was disallowed because from what you describe, the Mother was signing on behalf of the son. If the company (by it's Sole Director) appointed the Mother as an attorney, then would that not be different? Why not have your company appoint your father as it's attorney? The PoA...

In an ideal world, vendor calls bank: Vendor: Hi.. remember that Mortgage I paid off years ago? Bank: Yes.. you paid it off.. we gave you a discharge form. Vendor: Yeah, I lost it.. can I have a new one? Bank: Sure.. ok.. you don't owe us any money anymore, it's kinda silly for us to have...

I dare say this would be illegal. While he may still be on title, he's passed on ownership, etc to the purchaser by way of the transfer paperwork and the contract for sale. There's probably not much you can do.. I wonder what the purchaser's bank would do if they defaulted. I'm sure...

Hi Mop, what is the background here? Who owned the property before the Public Trustee came along? From what you have said, I would assume it was yourself with a 61% share, and someone else..? You need to remember that the Public Trustee aren't an owner here.. the are a personal representative...

Welcome to the forums. A quick google search brought me this result. It is just a response from answers.com, and I'd assume each State would have different requirements with regards to paperwork, etc but I'd say it's a yes. We let foreigners own property here, after all.

Try any of these companies.

Sounds like a way to not get rich if you ask me.

Correct.. it will all come down to what is said in the Will. You might be lucky, and the deceased may have left their share to the other Tenant in Common.. but go easy on them. They have just lost a loved one.

The legislation in each state/territory will vary, but I can tell you that in Queensland, Caveats are valid for 3 months, and will lapse, unless the provisions of s126(1) of the Land Title Act 1994 are met. What you'll need to do is check the relevant legislation for the state/territory in...
