Land Title Electronic Forms Guidebook - 2011

This book is essential for: all conveyancing professionals and legal support staff.

Current to: January 1, 2011  

The step-by-step guide to completing electronic land title forms
Effective January 1, 2011, the provisions in the former Land Title (Transfer Forms) Regulations were transferred to the Land Title Act (Board of Directors) Regulation and to the Director of Land Titles, who has authority to approve forms and establish filing and registration requirements. These general requirements are set out in a consolidated form in the Land Title Electronic Forms Guidebook (the "Green Book").

The Green Book now has been improved and expanded to reflect these changes in electronic filing and to guide conveyancing professionals through the electronic submission of land title forms for registration.

The Fifth Edition—2011 features:

• updates to reflect many recent changes in electronic filing
• step-by-step instructions, not available elsewhere, on how to complete electronic forms, including Transfer Forms A to E, Form 17, the Strata Property Act Filing Form, and the Application to Deposit a Survey Plan
• appendices for preferred forms of affidavit, prescribed standard mortgage terms, and general instructions for electronic filing
• sections of the Land Title Act relevant to preparing and registering electronic land title forms
• convenient looseleaf format with tab indexing (NEW!)
• online access to electronic version with search capability (NEW!)

The Fifth Edition—2011 was prepared by Wendi J. Mackay, Interact Public Policy Consultants Limited, Victoria, under the direction of the Land Title Survey Authority, with significant contributions from Sandy King, Senior Business Analyst, LTSA, and Tim Jowett, Deputy Registrar, LTSA.
