Practical considerations when seeking a Court-ordered sale of jointly owned property
Once it becomes clear that co-owners cannot agree on the future of a property, Section 66G of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW) provides an effective mechanism for resolving the dispute. While the legal principles are well established, careful planning before commencing proceedings can often save both time and costs.
For lawyers, an important consideration is the appointment of an independent trustee. The trustee is responsible for carrying out the Court’s orders, managing the sale process impartially and ensuring the proceeds are distributed in accordance with the Court’s directions. Selecting an experienced trustee can help the matter progress efficiently once orders are made.
At Levi Consulting, we regularly act as Court-appointed trustees in Section 66G matters and work closely with legal practitioners throughout the process. Our experience enables us to assist with the practical implementation of the Court’s orders while maintaining independence and transparency for all parties.
Our 2026 Section 66G Booklet explains the Court process, the role of trustees, practical issues commonly encountered in co-ownership disputes, and recent case studies to assist both lawyers and property owners.
