Land and Title in Manitoba: A Registrar’s Perspective

There are several excellent textbooks for students of real property law. The purpose of this document is not to parallel those works. And while the document touches very briefly on historical matters and ancient law, they are presented for context only. Instead, the goal of these materials is to provide an overview of the law of real property as it is practiced in Manitoba. The cases and the legislation cited will be those that most closely pertain to the subtleties of the Manitoba experience. The materials are intended to be of assistance to those carrying out a day-to-day real property practice in Manitoba who find themselves confronted with a situation they have not previously faced or considered.
