Box 4: Land description

When a subdivision plan creates multiple reserves, each reserve will be identified with a letter:    

 

PUBLIC RESERVES A, B AND C PLAN _______ MLTO (DEPOSIT NO. 123/19)

EXC ALL MINES AND MINERALS AS RESERVED IN THE ORIGINAL GRANT FROM THE CROWN

CROWN RESERVE PLAN _______ WLTO (DEPOSIT NO. 123/19)

EXC ALL MINES AND MINERALS AS RESERVED IN THE ORIGINAL GRANT FROM THE CROWN

IN LOT 99 MANITOBA HOUSE SETTLEMENT

  

Mineral exceptions/reservations from an affected title are always carried forward to the public or Crown reserve title. The mineral exception/reservation precedes the Dominion Government Survey (DGS) in the legal description (as shown in the above examples).

Box 5: Current registered owner(s)

Enter the names of all registered owners, as they appear on title.

Box 6: Encumbrances

Because these titles issue clear of encumbrances, any party whose encumbrance is not being carried forward must consent to the plan. See encumbrances signatures where land is being dedicated for public use.
