When to use it

Use when preparing a Queensland sale of a house, a unit, commercial property or vacant land that is not in an exception on the scheme page. It is a steps list. It does not fill in Form 2.

Used for these tasks

Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.

How AI may be used

AI may tick this list against searches already on the file and mark a missing certificate; the lawyer decides whether an exception applies and whether each statement is complete.

AI may

  • Match title searches, a pool certificate and a community management statement to the rows on this list
  • Record how and when the pack was given, and keep the proof of delivery with the file
  • Flag a sale by auction as one that still needs the pack before the fall of the hammer

AI must not

  • Must not complete Form 2 or a prescribed certificate
  • Must not treat the page's examples of exceptions as the full list
  • Must not advise a buyer that they can terminate, or a seller that they are safe, from this list alone

The lawyer checks

  • The matter is not in an exception, after section 2 of the guide is read, or the exception is recorded
  • The statement and every prescribed certificate that applies are given before the buyer signs, or before the fall of the hammer at auction
  • Section 6 is completed if the lot is in a community titles scheme
  • Proof of delivery is on the file, and anything the page says need not be disclosed is not added as if it were required

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
