The new transmission types names are abbreviations of the relevant statutes:
- Trustee Change - Grand Lodge of Freemasons Act 1903
- Trustee Change - District Grand Lodges Act 1976
- Trustee Change - Provincial Grand Lodges Act 1946
(The relevant statutes are the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of New Zealand Trustees Act 1903, the District Grand Lodges and District Grand Royal Arch Chapters of English Freemasons of New Zealand Trustees Act 1976 and Provincial Grand Lodge of New Zealand (Irish Constitution) Trustees Act 1946.)
These new transmission types can be selected in the Transmission Type field (instrument code TSM) of the Prepare Transmission screen. They must be prepared in either Complex/Exception mode or Lease/Mortgage/Other (LMO) mode, as appropriate for the land or interest in land that has vested.
The instrument requires the same certifications by the applicant's representative as for other transmission types. This includes a certification that the applicant is entitled to be registered as owner by virtue of transmission.
The evidence to be held on file by the applicant's representative, and to be produced to the RGL if requested for an e-dealing compliance review is the same as for other transmission types, namely:
- Authority & Instruction form(s) – completed by the new trustees
- Statutory declaration by the applicant(s).
Charitable Trusts
Where land is registered in the names of persons who are trustees under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957, the vesting of the land on a change of trustees or appointment of new trustees can be registered using an “ANT- Appointment of New Trustees” instrument. NOTE: This instrument type should only be used for change of trustees under the Charitable Trusts Acts 1957.
Friendly Societies and Credit Unions
Changes of trustees or appointment of new trustees under the Friendly Societies and Credit Unions Act 1982 cannot be registered against land titles. A notice under section 32 of that Act should be provided to LINZ by post or by submitting a Titles - Trustee Change request in Landonline.
