Adding name to land title

Hi,

Hoping to get a bit of help as have not been in this boat before,

Few months back, my partner and myself bought a plot of land for our PPOR but only had her name on the contract but we had a and/or nominee clause after her name in case we decide to put my name as well.

Now we have decided to include my name on the contract but the land sales girl have informed us that we need to go through our convayancer to include my name and was a matter of filling up the nomination form and straight forward.

Just wanted to make sure if this was straight forward as she mentioned and would not be an issue as on settlement date (land titles in October/Nov) land will be registered in both our names?

Any help appreciated.

 

Just curious, why do you want your name on the title as well?

 

Speak to your lawyer, but probably just need to put both names on the transfer.

But consider Thatbum's question seriously - why?

 

Yes, your conveyancer / solicitor needs to prepare the nomination paperwork to ensure you become a joint owner after settlement. No need to amend the contract - the nomination paperwork will be sufficient.

 

I've seen special conditions in contracts of sale crafted to incur fees against the purchaser payable to the vebdor's conveyancer for each nomination or substitution. Check to see if this would apply to your contract.

 

Keep in mind this various from state to state.

 

Thanks guys.

Convayancer is going to send through nomination paperwork. So this mean we will be co-owners ON settlement and do not need to pay stamp again to add my name as not after settlement?
