Spotlight: Avoiding Common Defects

Minimizing defect submissions to ensure applications are processed as and when expected is in everyone’s interests and LTSA is committed to supporting customers with submitting applications as accurately and efficiently as possible.  Over the coming months, this newsletter will highlight common errors that lead to defects, to help customers avoid similar issues.

One of the most common mistakes received by LTSA is the use of an incorrect form for a land title submission.  Examples include:

  • A missing Form F for the transfer of a strata lot.
  • A missing Declaration Form for supporting documents.
  • The use of a Form 17 – Fee Simple instead of a Form 17 –Charge, Notation or Filing.

For policy and practice guidance related to the correct use of forms, review the E-filing User Guides and Publications  and the Land Title Practice Manual.
