Where the lands in a plan of subdivision is adjacent to an existing title under different ownership, subsections 117(5)(b) & 117(9) of The Real Property Act empower the Registrar-General to require additional lots be created on the plan for those lands. This will be done to create a more definite and clear legal description of those adjacent lands.
Because all that is changing is the way those adjacent land are described, the adjoining owners are not informed of the process and do not sign the plan.
A request (TREQ) using the request/transmission form is to be used to issue title for any lots included under Section 117. There is no fee for this request. These additional lots can also be included in the Request for the other lots issuing from the subdivision.
