Document background
The Apartment Deed is a fundamental legal instrument in Canadian real estate transactions, used specifically for transferring ownership of individual apartment or condominium units. This document type is essential when conveying title to residential units within multi-unit buildings, whether they are governed by condominium or strata legislation. The deed must comply with provincial property laws and registration requirements, making it crucial for real estate transactions across Canada. An Apartment Deed typically includes detailed property descriptions, common property rights, unit entitlements, and specific provisions required by provincial legislation. It serves both as evidence of ownership transfer and as a reference document for future transactions, mortgage applications, or legal matters involving the property. The document must be properly executed and registered with the provincial Land Titles Office to ensure legal validity and protection of the parties' interests.
