Removing a caveat on land in Victoria

We are often approached by landowners seeking the removal of a caveat on their land where the landowner is of the view that there is no basis for the caveat to be lodged on their title.

Application to the Land Use Victoria

If the matter is not urgent there is an application which can be made to the Registrar of Titles through Land Use Victoria which will result in either:

1. the caveat lapsing and being removed; or
2. the caveator informing the Registrar of Titles that there are Court proceedings on foot which deal with the caveat – in this instance the Registrar of Titles will not remove the caveat unless ordered to do so by the Court (or it is withdrawn by the caveator).
