NEW MANDATORY ECONVEYANCING LAW IN QUEENSLAND:

“The e-conveyancing mandate commenced in Queensland earlier this week (20 February), requiring that some titles instruments, known as “required instruments”, must be lodged using e-conveyancing unless a valid exemption applies.

The mandate, introduced by the Land Title Regulation 2022, applies to all industry professionals and corporate entities that are lodging a required instrument dealing with freehold land, according to Titles Queensland.”

“Prior to electronic conveyancing, buyers and sellers were expected to travel to a law firm to sign the necessary paperwork in person, or post them by mail. That takes time and requires documents to be manually uploaded, which leaves room for error and is slower than using a digital system,” he submitted.

“Adopting a digital approach to conveyancing is much more efficient. It’s a positive step forward in reducing the number of sales held up because documents weren’t lodged in time or were lost.”
