SUMMARY:Real Estate: What is Good Title (Revisited)?
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview:           \nIn the long-awaited follow-up to the seminal What is Good Title? seminar delivered in 1990\, this full-day program builds on the Law Society’s 2024 Report of the Ad Hoc Land Titles Committee\, which examined present-day standards and recurring areas of uncertainty in real estate practice in Newfoundland and Labrador. \nThe morning portion of the program will focus on how practitioners get to a root of title in the first place\, with particular attention to possessory title\, Crown grants\, and other established sources of title. Discussion will include practical guidance on evaluating possessory title\, drafting affidavits of possession\, and understanding Crown Lands’ approach to title issues\, as well as the process for advancing a quieting of titles application pursuant to the Quieting of Titles Act. \nThe afternoon will turn to what happens once the root of title has been identified. This portion will explore conveyancing standards\, areas where practice approaches diverge\, and strategies for improving consistency across the bar. Topics are expected to include co-ownership and family land considerations\, municipal issues\, easements\, and other recurring sources of complexity in title review. \nThe final segment of the day will draw together key themes from the earlier sessions in a broader discussion of what constitutes “good title” in practice today\, including how to approach problematic or non-standard title\, and the evolving role of title insurance. The seminar will conclude with a plenary discussion\, providing attendees with an opportunity to engage directly with presenters on practical questions and emerging issues. \nSeminar Presenters:  \nLSNL Land Titles Committee \n\nGregory French (Chair)\, Mills\, Pittman & Twyne\nAdam Baker\, O’Keefe & Sullivan\nBenjamin Blackmore\, Blackmore Law Office\nJonathan Moore\, O’Dea Earle\nKeith Morgan\, Brown Fitzgerald Morgan & Avis\nMarc Cooper\, Marc Cooper Law Office\nHerb Edwards (Department of Justice and Public Safety\, Crown Lands)\n\nRegistration Fee: $230.00 ($200.00 + HST) \nHST # R108086463 \nLunch will be provided for in-person attendees. \nTo register for this seminar\, please click here. \nCPD Credit: 6 hours
