Document background
The Certificate of Deed of Sale is a fundamental document in Canadian real estate law, used to formally document and validate the transfer of real property ownership. This legal instrument is essential when completing any real estate transaction in Canada, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial properties. The document must meet specific requirements under provincial legislation and typically requires notarization and registration with the local land registry office. A Certificate of Deed of Sale includes crucial information such as the legal description of the property, purchase price, party details, and any specific conditions or restrictions on the transfer. It serves as permanent evidence of the transaction and forms part of the official property records maintained by government authorities. The document is particularly important for establishing clear chain of title and protecting the interests of both buyers and sellers in property transactions.
