Changing Your Address On Your Legal Title to Land is Important!

Each title to land that is registered at the Land Title Office of Alberta must include a physical address. This address does not have to be the address of the property that the land title is for. Often people use another address depending on their needs. See below, there are many times where the address should not be the address of the title. The Calgary lawyers at Kahane Law Office can help with real estate address changes on your land title.

Why The Address On Your Land Title Is Important

The physical address that is registered on the Albertaland title to your home is important because any legal notice that is sent to you from the land titles office, will be sent to the address registered on the Alberta land title to your home. Sending these notices to the address that is registered is deemed to have been received by you. This means that if you did not receive the notice, you can still be noted in default, or lose rights you otherwise would have. This is why real estate address changes are important. Examples of notices you may receive include:

  • Foreclosures;
  • Builders’ Liens;
  • Notice of Expropriation;
  • Claims Against Your Home;
  • Writs; and lastly
  • Certificates of Lis Pendens.

The Law About Real Estate Address Changes

Under Alberta law you must file a real estate address change if your address for notice changes. This is found in the Alberta Land Titles Act Section 44(2). Since the Act states that you “shall” notify the Registrar of any changes, you must do this. This law is so important that the Registrar can refuse to register any document that is presented to them for registration if it does not disclose a municipal address. This includes times when an address lacks a competent such as the postal code.
