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

Receivers and controllers

A dealing by the receiver or controller must be drawn in the name of the mortgagor and include a statement that a receiver or controller has been appointed. The dealing must be executed by the receiver or controller and the nature of the authority to sign must be stated, e.g. 'receiver for [name of mortgagor]'.  The execution must be witnessed.  See Baalman And Wells, Land Titles Office Practice, Lawbook Co. 2001 [385.150].
