Navigating the Complexities of Property Law

Property law extends beyond conveyancing, covering a comprehensive range of legal issues associated with property, its ownership, use, and transfer. At Kennedy Legal & Mediation Services, our property law practitioners excel in providing expert advice and representation, ensuring our clients’ rights and interests are safeguarded across various property transactions and disputes.

Understanding Property Law

Property law encompasses a broader spectrum of legal matters related to real property, going beyond the specific transfer of ownership addressed in conveyancing. It involves landlord-tenant law, land use and zoning regulations, property disputes, and real estate development.


Lawyers specialising in property law handle diverse matters, including drafting and negotiating leases, resolving property disputes, advising on development projects, and addressing issues related to easements, boundaries, and land use regulations.


Roles of Property Lawyers

Property lawyers are vital in delivering legal advice and representation to clients on various property-related issues. This involves protecting clients’ rights and interests in various property transactions and disputes. Unlike conveyancing, which focuses primarily on property ownership transfer and financial transactions, property law practitioners engage in a more extensive range of legal issues related to real property.

Understanding the Differences in Property Ownership

Ownership as Joint Tenants


If you own property with your partner or another person as joint tenants, then a right of survivorship exists. This means that if one of the joint tenants dies, the property will automatically pass to the surviving joint tenant. 

Ownership in Tenants-In-Common


Ownership of a property as tenants-in-common means two or more people co-own a property in defined shares and can dispose of their defined share as they wish in accordance with their Will. 

Our Services in Advising & Altering Property Ownership

Kennedy Legal & Mediation Services can provide you with legal guidance about owning property as joint tenants or as tenants-in-common. We are able to review your property ownership, advise you, draft and register the necessary documents to alter the tenancy should you decide that this is what you require.
