Retirement of COVID Measures Effective September 30, 2023

Effective September 30, 2023, the following COVID-related remote witnessing measures will be retired, in line with the removal of province-wide COVID restrictions.

Although the blanket authorization of Land Title Act s.49 affidavits will be retired, practitioners can still make a request to the Registrar for the use of a Land Title Act s.49 affidavit related to COVID medical concerns. The request must be specific to the transferor’s unique circumstances. The Registrar will consider the facts of each affidavit on a case-by-case basis and if satisfied, will accept the affidavit of execution in lieu of officer certification.

Though unrelated to the retirement of COVID measures, customers are reminded that remote witnessing of Enduring Powers of Attorney, which was made permanent by s.17.1 of the Power of Attorney Act, remain in effect. Read Practice Bulletin 02-11Enduring Powers of Attorney for practice guidance regarding land title requirements for enduring powers of attorney that have been remotely witnessed under the alternative witnessing processes and are to be used for land title purposes.
