Legislation: The Land Titles Act, The Registry Act

Bulletin content:

Subsection 40(1) of the Registry Act and subsection 34(1) of Ontario Regulation 75/82 made under the Land Titles Act provide that an instrument purporting to be executed under a power of attorney shall not be registered unless at or before the time of such registration the power of attorney is registered in the same land registry office.

Clause 1(h) of the Land Titles Act and clause 1(p) of the Registry Act define “registered” to mean “registered under this Act.” It is not permissible at the present time for an instrument presented for registration in the land titles system be executed by an attorney to refer to a power of attorney registered in the registry system, or vice-versa.
