How do I inform the Registry when one of the joint owners passes away so that the Land Title document will be updated accordingly?

Question

Accepted Answer

Two persons, A & B (or more) own the property together as joint tenants (no distinguishing of shares). If one owner passes away, the other owner becomes the sole owner. If there are more than 2 remaining owners, they will become the owners of the property as joint tenants. To enable the Registry to update the Land Title document (i.e. the Certificate of Title or duplicate Lease), you are required to file a document called Notice of Death.

Note: A Notice of Death is only applicable if the owners are joint tenants. It does not apply where the owners hold the property as tenants-in-common i.e. each owner has a distinct share in the property.
