Post by: ruteger on April 30, 2007, 02:38:41 PM
Do Crown Liens show up in a title search?

Sure do.  You should also do a Sherriff's office search of the owner's to see if there are any there against all of their assets.

Hi Frank,
You seem to be an expert.  I've looked at a title search, how can you tell if its a 'crown lien'?  Is a sheriff's office search the same as an execution search, can we get the information from the same place ie.  the land registry office?

The Oshawa sale is still on, haven't put in a bid yet and haven't done a title search, still thinking about it, don't know what to bid.  Any info on that?

An expert is a guy who is 100 miles from home, and he borrows your watch to tell you what time it is.  That's not me.

You have to examine all liens on title, and determine if any of them are in favour of the Crown.  This means looking at the source documents.

An execution search is the same as a Sherrif's, and I believe that in most cases they are available either through the Registry office itself, or their office is in the same building.  Ask the Registry office folks - I've found that it's not the same in every town.

Don't know anything about the Oshawa sale, sorry.

good luck.

Hello again, I checked on your Oshawa property quickly.  Go to the City of Oshawa web-site at   

http://www.oshawa.ca/tenders/92006__5Maps__WILLITS__202_WILSON_RD_S_3.pdf

and you will find aerial photo, as well as maps, and other information including assessed value, size of building, year built, etc..  Looks like a nice place from the sky.

No an expert is as described below:

I stand corrected.  Yours is more appropriate to an x-spurt.  Mine is actually the definition of a 'consultant' (I get the two confused since consultants are supposed to be experts).
