When property ownership becomes complicated, clarity matters.
Our role is simple:
To step in when agreement can’t be reached and guide everyone to a practical, lawful outcome.
Queensland Statutory Asset Services helps co-owners resolve property disputes with confidence, fairness, and a clear path forward.
Owning your own property - it’s the Australian dream!
But when relationships change, that dream can quickly become stressful.
Whether the property is a family home, an investment, or something owned with family, friends, or business partners, shared ownership doesn’t always stay simple. When co-owners can’t agree on what happens next, emotions can run high - and so can the financial cost.
That’s where we come in.
A practical solution when co-owners reach a deadlock
Property disputes are more common than people realise.
Decisions about who lives in the property, whether it’s rented, developed, sold — and how — can quickly stall when views differ.
When agreement can’t be reached, the appointment of an independent Statutory Trustee can be a straightforward and effective solution.
A Statutory Trustee:
removes emotion from the process.
acts impartially for all parties.
ensures the property is dealt with lawfully and fairly.
provides a clear exit strategy.
Sometimes it’s the only way forward. Often, it’s the best way.
What happens when one co-owner wants out — and the other doesn’t?
Even when everyone agrees the property should be sold, disagreements can still arise:
when to sell
how to sell
who to appoint
what price is acceptable
Left unresolved, these disputes can drag on - costing time, money, and peace of mind.
Applying to the court for the appointment of a Statutory Trustee provides certainty.
It creates a structured, impartial process that protects the value of the asset and the interests of all parties involved.
WHEN A STATUTORY TRUSTEE MAY BE APPOINTED
Statutory Trustee appointments commonly arise from:
Relationship or family breakdowns
(including spouses, siblings, or extended family)Partnership disputes
(business partners, friends, or joint investors)Business failure
(including matters involving charging clauses)Bankruptcy or insolvency
Every situation is different. Our approach is always measured, professional, and focused on resolution.
