LAND AGENTS’ DUTIES
NATURE OF PROPERTY TITLES. CLIENTS SHOULD BE ADVISED The duties of land agents when acting for people unversed in business were outlined by Mr E. Page, S.M., in the course of a judgment delivered in the Magistrate’s Court at Wellino--ton. “There is a duty on land agents to ascertain the true nature of the title under which the property is held and not to allow their principals to become entangled in an acceptance which may bind them to make a title in fee simple when in reality they may hold only under agreement,” Mr Page said / ‘ Lay people unacquainted with land tenures, often do not know the fundamental ’ difference, but a land agent knows, or ought to know and ought to see that his principal is advised accordingly.”
