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.
