Document background
The Freehold Title Deed is a fundamental legal document in Canadian real property law, used when transferring absolute ownership of real estate from one party (grantor) to another (grantee). This document is essential in both residential and commercial property transactions across Canada, providing evidence of ownership and forming part of the property's chain of title. The deed must comply with provincial land registry requirements and typically includes detailed property descriptions, party information, consideration amount, and any existing encumbrances. It is used in situations where complete ownership rights are being transferred, as opposed to leasehold or other limited property interests. The document requires proper execution, witnessing, and registration at the land registry office to become legally effective.
