Hi Emma,
I’d follow section 573 & apportion the remaining balance between the two new assessments. If the balance of the parent lot was shown on the 603 certificate the solicitor should have made payment of this in full at settlement & if they haven’t the owners should be chasing them to sort out who’s paid & owes what & to make a payment to Council. Might be worth sending a letter to both owners before year end advising them if you intend doing this as the owner who thinks they’ve paid their portion might chase their solciitor a little harder to sort it out with the other owners solicitor.
I’m glad all of the hopeless solicitors don’t just live in Picton. 🙂
Simone
