LRO: In The Know…What’s New and Upcoming in Land Registration

This presentation updates Ontario land registration practice. It reports steady activity and wider digital certification for transfers, discharges, and charges. It unveils a refreshed Electronic Registration Procedures Guide with clearer rules for part interest transfers, approved notice types, required statements, and email notices for returns or withdrawals. It confirms that registration gives notice, not validity. It promotes defined expiry choices for s.71 notices, use of production statements when agreements are not attached, and owner consent where agreements underpin notices. It recommends s.118 restrictions when agreements do not fit approved categories and flags upcoming guidance on ss.118 and 119 and expanded e notifications, offering actionable, practice-ready direction.
