On 11 October 2021, the Real Property Amendment (Certificates of Title) Act 2021 commenced, which abolished the Certificates of Title (CTs) and the control of the right to deal (CoRD) framework. All existing CTs have been cancelled and CTs will no longer be issued. Existing CTs will not need to be produced, and CoRD holder consent will not be required, for a dealing or plan to be registered. All existing Guidelines subject to this change are currently being reviewed and will be updated to reflect these changes. For further information regarding the abolition of CTs, please see https://www.registrargeneral.nsw.gov.au/property-and-conveyancing/eConveyancing/abolition-of-certificates-of-title

I have changed my name. What should I do to change it on my title?

If you have changed your name since you were recorded as an owner on a land title, you can instruct your legal representative to prepare and lodge a Change of Name with NSW LRS to have your new name registered on the title.

See Justification for a name discrepancy for the available justifications that may be relied on, and evidence your legal representative will require to sight and retain, in relation to a Change of Name dealing.
