Resolving Property Disputes: How Boss Lawyers Can Help You Appoint a Statutory Trustee

At Boss Lawyers, we understand that property disputes can be stressful, complicated, and time-consuming. Whether you’re dealing with a co-owner who refuses to sell or a situation where multiple parties can’t agree on the future of a property, we’re here to help. Our experienced legal team specialises in resolving property disputes, and we have the expertise to guide you through the process of appointing a statutory trustee to force a sale.

Understanding Property Disputes

Property disputes can arise from various situations, such as:

Inherited property where beneficiaries cannot agree on the management or sale.
Jointly owned investment properties with differing opinions on handling.
Co-owned residential properties where one party wants to sell, and the other does not.

These conflicts can lead to significant financial losses and emotional distress if not handled promptly and effectively.

What is a Statutory Trustee?

A statutory trustee is an independent third party appointed by the Court to manage and sell a property when co-owners are unable to reach an agreement. This process is often the best solution to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently.

When to Apply for a Statutory Trustee

You might need to apply for a statutory trustee if:

Negotiations between co-owners have failed.
Mediation attempts have been unsuccessful.
The property dispute is causing significant financial strain or emotional distress.

Working with a lawyer is not only about their understanding of the law but the ideal relationship requires your lawyer to also offer practical and pragmatic advice. Additionally, it is important for your lawyer to be contactable and to understand your risk profile with regards to the matter being dealt with. In my dealings with Mark and his team at Boss Lawyers, I have found all of the above to be true.

I am the treasurer of a body corporate that has engaged Boss Lawyers for advice on legal issues in relation to management rights and what the committee considered to be breaches of the caretaking agreement. I believe that the advice from Boss Lawyers on both a strategic and legal level has ended up producing an outcome for our scheme that is far more palatable to that which we would otherwise have had. I can recommend Boss Lawyers to any body corporate with similar issues. Emmanuel Sarris, Treasurer The Wellington Body Corporate for East Brisbane
