The Property Registry consists of two registries, the Land
Titles Office and the Personal Property Registry.
We keep all records of land ownership and survey plans. In
Manitoba we provide a registry where interests in land (such
as a mortgage or caveat) may be recorded. Are you buying or
selling a house? We register the documents that change ownership
of the real estate property and guarantee the results.
Do you want to place a lien or file a notice against a specific
property? Do you want to order a copy of information set out
in a title? We can record your documents or forward you the
copy of a document already registered.
By "personal property" we mean all movable goods
and possessions, not land and buildings. The registry keeps
records of all personal property registered as security for
a loan, or collateral in Manitoba. Both consumers and money
lenders can check for indebtedness or liens against personal
property before buying it or accepting it as collateral. Creditors
register their financial interest in personal property pledged
as collateral. For example, a bank lending you money to buy
a car registers a notice in the registry that it has a lien
on the car. This lien ensures payment of the bank's loan.
A person wanting to buy a used car in a private sale can check
the registry to see if a lien is recorded against the serial
number. |
