This guideline provides guidance on the application and registration procedures for the removal of merged, extinguished or redundant easements.

When an easement or profit à prendre has ended due to merger, redundancy or extinguishment, the grantor or grantee of the easement may apply to the Registrar to have the easement removed from the register. Sections 113, 114 and 115 of the Land Transfer Act 2017 set out the process for applications. 

This guideline on the application and registration procedures for the removal of merged, extinguished or redundant easements is to be read in conjunction with the relevant statutory provisions. It is designed to ensure that the requirements for applications and supporting evidence are transparent and well understood.

Note

The form referred to in schedule 1 of this guideline is superceded by Form 25 of the Approved Paper Forms for Land Transfer Act 2017.
