Real estate law is a complex set of procedures, jammed into a fast-paced timeline, sometimes with enormous volume, where basics like the Land Titles Procedures Manual and legislation such as the Land Titles Act, Dower Act, etc. provide the template forms and correct practices to succeed. This paper canvasses 20 topics that may be of benefit to real estate lawyers, including foreign ownership of land, consolidation of titles, separation of titles, resulting interest transfers, fiats, consent of spouse when executing under a power of attorney, co-tenancy and dower, Surrogate Digital System, and more.

This paper is part of a collection presented at LESA’s Real Estate Conference program in Kananaskis on October 18 – 19, 2024.
