Resolv­ing Prop­er­ty Co-Own­er­ship Dis­putes: A Guide to Sec­tion 66G and Court-Appoint­ed Trustees. An arti­cle co-authored by David Levi — Levi Con­sult­ing in con­junc­tion with Nick Dale — Part­ner, Swaab. 

The pur­chase of res­i­den­tial or com­mer­cial prop­er­ty togeth­er may occur for a vari­ety of per­son­al or busi­ness rea­sons. How­ev­er, if cir­cum­stances change, one co-own­er may wish to sell or divest their inter­est while their fel­low co-own­ers don’t and are unwill­ing or unable to buy the for­mer out. If you want to sell a prop­er­ty which you co-own in NSW, what hap­pens when the oth­er own­er doesn’t? Sec­tion 66G of the Con­veyanc­ing Act 1919 pro­vides a solution.
