Prepare a partial discharge/withdrawal in Complex mode

How to prepare a partial discharge or withdrawal in Complex mode

Overview 

In New Landonline you can partially discharge or withdraw as to part of the land or as to another interest against an affected instrument.

If you partially discharge the same instrument multiple times against the same titles in the same dealing it will step down to Lodge. 

Mandatory fields are marked by a red asterisk * and must be completed for successful pre-validation, certify and sign, and submission.

  • This is a free text field.

  1. The existing Mortgagee/Encumbrancee/Caveator/Charge Holder/Claimant will automatically display but is read-only. However, use the:
  • Change due to pending dealing toggle above the Affected Instrument to edit, add or delete the names displayed. For example, use when an instrument in a prior dealing or a prior instrument in the same dealing is changing an interest holder's name. 
  • Revert / Update button to re-set the interest holder’s name to reflect the Register or to update names from any prior instrument in the dealing. For example, if the interest holder details have been edited using Change due to pending dealing, it will revert to what is recorded on the Register. Or, if a prior instrument has been added to your dealing which changes the interest holder, using Revert / Update will pull through the updated names.

  • This instrument will step down to Lodge if you enter text in this field.

 

Into the field, write the intent for discharging the registered instrument.
  1. When discharging a mortgage or encumbrance, uncheck the Reserve personal covenants checkbox if required. This will depend on whether the parties have made these arrangements relating to the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee/Encumbrancee.
