Amendment of Deeds of Grant Act 1884

An Act to simplify the procedure in amending Deeds of Grant which contain an erroneous description of the boundaries of the land contained therein.

Preamble

Whereas the procedure in amending Deeds of Grant which contain an erroneous description of the boundaries of allotments in the towns of the Colony, as provided in the fifth section of the 8th Victoria, No. 9, is cumbrous and inconvenient, and whereas there is no similar provision contained in the Act 4th and 5th Victoria, No. 20 2, relating to the boundaries of country lands or lands not included within the provisions of the first recited Act; And whereas it is desirable that a simple method of procedure should be provided for the amendment of the Deeds of Grant referred to in the said Acts:

Be it therefore enacted by His Excellency the Governor of Western Australia and its Dependencies, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows: —

1. Amendment of Deeds of Grant to show adjusted boundaries

In any case in which the true boundaries of any lands or allotments shall have been duly adjusted under the powers of the said recited Acts or of either of them, and the said boundaries so adjusted as aforesaid shall differ from those contained in any grant thereof from the Crown, issued previously to such adjustment, it shall be lawful for an authorised land officer to endorse or cause to be endorsed on the back or other convenient part of the deed or instrument of grant, if it shall be produced to him for that purpose, the true boundaries as so adjusted and which he shall sign, and the said deed so endorsed and signed as aforesaid shall be forthwith given or forwarded by an authorised land officer to the Registrar of Deeds and Transfers, and the said Registrar shall make and sign a memorandum of such endorsement in the margin or in some other convenient part of the enrolled copy of the said deed, and shall re‑deliver the said deed to the person producing the same as aforesaid.

[Section 1 amended: No. 126 of 1987 s. 29; No. 47 of 2011 s. 16.]
