Instruments should not contain personal information and correspondence

Personal information should not be included as part of an e-dealing instrument to be registered. This also includes any earlier correspondence with LINZ.

Instruments registered in Landonline form part of the public register and are available for searching by the public (with payment of the appropriate fee).

Examples of the types of personal information that should not be included are:

• Bank account numbers/details.
• Rates information.
• Parole orders.
• Property relationship orders.
• Identity documents (drivers licences, passports).

Before submitting an e-dealing for registration, please check the instruments and any images attached, then ask yourself, is the information contained in the instrument required for registration and would your client want that information available in searches?

LINZ staff ensure any personal information and correspondence is not scanned with manually lodged instruments where it is not required for registration.

Transmissions – Key issues

If a registered proprietor or a registered interest holder dies or is divested of their ownership of land/interest by operation of law (‘the qualifying event’), before any transaction can be lodged against the title or interest, a Transmission must be registered.

Note: A registered proprietor or a registered interest holder is, e.g. a mortgagee, lessee or life tenant.

Before a solicitor or conveyancer can lodge a Transmission they must obtain the following and hold these as evidence;

• An A& I form from the applicant (eg the survivor or executor or administrator)
• A signed statutory declaration completed by the applicant and referring to the evidence of the qualifying event and
• A document evidencing the qualifying event (eg death certificate, probate or letters of administration, court order for adjudication in bankruptcy etc)

When creating the Transmission in Landonline, ensure that the;

• Transmission type is correct
• Date acquired is correct (eg the date of death or the date probate was granted or the date of bankruptcy etc).
• Name of the person or entity going off the titles is selected in the Registered proprietor/interest holder section (the deceased, bankrupt, a company that has been removed from the Companies Act Register etc)
• Name of the person or entity going on the title is displayed/ entered in the applicant section (the survivor, executor/administrator, Official Assignee etc)
• “Display resulting Ownership button” is clicked and the new ownership of the title or interest is checked and confirmed.

Requisition fee waiver to end

Since the 1st of January 2013, there has been a resubmission fee waiver in place for certain requisition items to allow surveyors to become fully familiar with the Amended Rules for Cadastral Survey 2010 (//www.linz.govt.nz/about-linz/news-publications-and-consultations/search-for- regulatory-documents/rules-for-cadastral-survey-2010-%E2%80%93-linzs65003) . From the 16th of June, this fee waiver will cease to apply.

Temporary Dispensation from Datum Connection (Rule 4.2) for Canterbury surveys has expired

LINZ issued a temporary dispensation from Rule 4.2, Horizontal Datum Connection, to assist surveyors in Canterbury who were affected by the December 2013 South Island Coordinate Update.

LINZ issued a temporary dispensation from Rule 4.2, Horizontal Datum Connection, to assist surveyors in Canterbury who were affected by the December 2013 South Island Coordinate Update.

Read Temporary Dispensation – Horizontal Datum Connection (Rule 4.2) for Canterbury – Updated November 2013 (//www.linz.govt.nz/kb/91)

It applied where a surveyor had connected to cadastral survey network marks but found these marks had been downgraded by the coordinate update, so no longer complied with Rule 4.2.

The dispensation cut off date of 30 April 2014 has now been reached and the dispensation is no longer available automatically. If surveyors have a particular survey where they believe it is unreasonable or impractical to comply with Rule 4.2 they can make a case for dispensation using the e-survey request type “Survey _ Survey Dispensation”.
