Document background
An Affidavit For Correction of Title is utilized when errors or inaccuracies are discovered in property title records within the Canadian land registration system. These errors might include misspelled names, incorrect property descriptions, omission of interests, or other clerical mistakes that need to be rectified to ensure accurate property records. The document is particularly important in maintaining the integrity of the land titles system and protecting property rights. It must be sworn or affirmed before a Commissioner of Oaths or similar authorized official, and typically requires supporting documentation to substantiate the requested correction. The affidavit must comply with provincial legislation governing land titles and property registration, as land registration falls under provincial jurisdiction in Canada. This document is essential for ensuring that property records accurately reflect the true state of title and ownership.
