A2 Authority & Instruction (A&I) Form
A Client Authority & Instruction (A&I) form provides authority for a conveyancing professional to act on behalf of a client in the e-dealing environment.
Information for the A&I form can be found in the standard paper-based conveyancing file.
Complete an A&I form for:
- All instruments that require an A&I. (Refer to e-capable instruments).
Attach any other documents required to evidence the certifications to the A&I form.
Request the client to execute the A&I form which gives authority for the conveyancing professional to act for the client in the e-dealing. This should be before certifying and signing any instruments in an e-dealing.
Retain A&I forms and any other documents in support of certifications (eg bank letter of instruction) for review purposes (for a Statutory period of 10 years).
The A&I form may be completed using:
- The Landonline A&I functionality which will create the A&I form using information entered at the time the instruments are prepared; or
- Your established processes or precedents.
The NZLS e-dealing Guidelines and the A&I forms are available to download or print off the NZLS website. A&I forms are available for private individual, private corporate and public corporate.
