This section provides links to pages containing information about the Treasury’s standard requirements for dealing with the following types of “ownerless property”:
- Mortgages
- Easements
- Liens
- Encumbrances
- Shares
- Bona Vacantia Money
- Leases
- Trade marks and other intellectual property
- Land
- Resource consents
As a very wide range of property may be “ownerless property”, the standard requirements are restricted to common types of property. If you have queries about a type of property not listed, please contact the Treasury Legal team at [email protected].
Before processing any application, we must be satisfied that the property has vested in the Crown and that there will be no claims against the Crown resulting from the discharge.
