Our company Schmidt & Schmidt provides Extracts from the Real Estate Register of Canada with translation and Legalization.
Canada has no unified real estate register and unified federal real estate data systems. At the level of Canadian provinces and territories there are fully original real estate registration systems based on various European legal traditions.
The document registration system is operating in Ontario province and other eastern regions, and in western provinces – the rights’ registration system. Maintenance of a register in Quebec is based on French civil law traditions.
Registers of Canada contain data on:
- land and buildings
- restrictions
- rights
In Alberta province there are two systems operating at the same time: system of registration of the right of ownership and state land register.
The ownership rights’ registration system is headed by a registrar, which has legal education. His/her duties include review of all materials submitted for registration, their accuracy and acceptability, and registration of changes in the system.
The registers’ system of Canada is being reformed.
Registers are public, herewith the access system depends on a specific province or territory.
Extracts from registers may be obtained either in electronic or in a paper form with consular legalization.
