Purpose
The purpose of this user guide is to highlight the main functions and intuitive features of the electronic submission Caveat form (eCaveat for short). This form is designed to be intelligent, to provide basic validation and error checking and to offer context-sensitive help.
A note of caution: While the eCaveat form is interactive and intelligent, it is designed to make sure that certain basic informational requirements are provided. It is not intended to take the place of proper legal advice. The form cannot determine if the information you have entered is correct; it simply ensures that the required sections have been completed. In addition, although the goal of this user guide is to assist in the completion of the eCaveat form, it is not intended to be an exhaustive guide. Teranet Manitoba Registry cannot provide legal advice.
General guidelines for completion
- Any field that requires a title number or instrument number must be completed using the land titles district office number:
The land titles office district numbers are as follows:
/1 Winnipeg
/2 Brandon
/3 Portage la Prairie
/4 Morden
/5 Neepawa
/6 Dauphin
- Many fields offer a default selection. Be aware that the default selection may not be the most appropriate selection for every scenario.
- Unless otherwise stated all fields are mandatory.
- When making a selection the option indicates that one or more selections may be chosen at one time while the option indicates that only one option must be chosen at any given time.
- If the option is available it can be used to increase or decrease the number of entry fields. Keep in mind that a minimum of one entry may still be required. In addition, there may be a maximum number of entries that can be added.
- Example: If an instrument is being registered against more than one title number, the button can be used to add additional title number fields
