Spouses are commonly registered as joint tenants, but when unrelated parties are involved, a discussion about ownership...

info_outlineWhy We Pull the Title and Historical Title in Alberta Real Estate 🏡 | Must-Know for REALTORS®
In this Q&A clip, Raman explains why real estate professionals in Alberta should pull both the current title and the historical title when working with a property. Here’s what you’ll learn in this session:
📄 Current Title Search — Confirms the legal owner, outstanding liens, mortgages, encumbrances, property tax issues, and other registered interests.
🏠Historical Title Search — Reveals past issues that may no longer be listed on the current title, such as:

• Flooding or DRP grant history
• Remediation or environmental concerns
• Ownership changes and timelines By reviewing both, agents can protect their buyers, ensure accurate contract information, and flag potential issues before conditions are removed.
