John Melis, Expert

Hello, I’m John Melis, a solicitor in Australia, and I’ll be helping you with your question today.
Your friend will be able to raise a claim in the Supreme Court to ensure her rights are protected. Otherwise your friend can lodge a caveat immediately against the title with the assistance of her local lawyer.

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm just following up to see how you are going with your situation.

Just recapping your circumstance, your friend Debbie should put a registered interest over the title of the property to protect the money she has put into that property. That registered interest is called a caveat. Your friend Debbie can use a local lawyer to register that interest on the title. That way your friend Debbie will be protected if the other party tries to sell that property or create loans against that property

Please let me know how you progress with your matter.
