Estate - Proof Required that no Infants Involved

This lock was placed on the title at the time of conversion if the Certificate of Title was held in the name of a personal representative. Pursuant to Section 114(1)(f) of The Land Titles Regulations, 2001, a search of the general record was not completed at the time of conversion for previously filed Local Registrar’s Certificate, Official Guardian Certificate, or Public Trustee’s Certificate that no infants or children are interested in the estate (“Certificate of No Infants”).

This lock will also be placed on a title when an application for transmission is submitted and a Certificate of No Infants is not provided within the application. The Certificate of No Infants is not mandatory at the time of transmission; however, it will prohibit the personal representative from transferring the title. We recommend that you enclose a Certificate of No Infants at the time of transmission to prevent potential delays later on.

This lock is registered at the title level and it will appear on a title print at the bottom.

A miscellaneous interest will not be registered against a title if the interest is a claim against the land to which the personal representative would need to consent, such as a mortgage or lease.

Removal of the Lock

This lock will be removed by submission of a Local Registrar’s Certificate ("Certificate of No Infants"), Official Guardian Certificate, or Public Trustee’s Certificate that no infants or children are interested in the estate.

You can conduct a search of the decommissioned General Record to determine if one of these certificates had been filed. However, it was not mandatory for a Certificate of No Infants to be filed in the General Record. Therefore, we will not have a copy of the document. Regina and Moose Jaw General Records are available on our website. The remaining Land Titles Offices (Swift Current, Prince Albert, North Battleford, Saskatoon, Yorkton, or Humboldt), are not currently available online.

If you require assistance searching for a Certificate of No Infants that may have been filed with an old Land Titles office, please contact:
