sec.287 Amendment of description of land

If, at any time after a deed of grant under this Act takes effect, greater certainty, by survey or otherwise, is obtained as to the boundaries of the land, the trustee must, on receipt of a written notice to do so by the chief executive, surrender to the State the deed to the land within such reasonable period as is specified in the notice. On surrender of the deed, a new deed of grant delineating the amended boundaries is to be issued to the trustee.

The registrar must endorse on the new deed of grant, in the proper order or priority, the instruments under which existing relevant interests arose. s 287 amd 2008 No. 29 s 54 ; 2011 No. 26 s 84 ; 2021 No. 12 s 148 sch 3 (sec.287-ssec.1) If, at any time after a deed of grant under this Act takes effect, greater certainty, by survey or otherwise, is obtained as to the boundaries of the land, the trustee must, on receipt of a written notice to do so by the chief executive, surrender to the State the deed to the land within such reasonable period as is specified in the notice.
