Clear guidance when a paper title is missing
Losing an old paper Certificate of Title can be confusing, particularly when you’re preparing to sell, transfer or deal with a property. Lotus Settlements can review the current title record, confirm the registered ownership details and identify whether any further documents or applications are required.
Although paper Duplicate Certificates of Title no longer have legal effect in Western Australia, issues with title records, ownership details or supporting documents can still delay a property transaction. We’ll help you understand what applies to your situation and what needs to happen next.
Our team can obtain and review the relevant title search, check the property and proprietor details, and coordinate with Landgate, your lender or other parties where required. If a statutory declaration, identity verification or supporting documentation is needed for a related dealing, we’ll explain the requirements in plain English.
You’ll receive clear guidance, regular updates and transparent pricing, so you know where you stand before your property transaction progresses.
