A Joint Tenants with No Survivorship lock is used to indicate the title is held by a trustee pursuant to Section 34(3.1) of The Land Titles Act, 2000.
This lock was also applied at the time of conversion when a certificate of title contained a reference to trustees. The reference to trustees was removed and this lock was applied. For example, a reference to John Smith and Mary Smith as trustees for the ABC Church was converted to John Smith and Mary Smith with the Joint Tenants with No Survivorship lock placed on the title.
This lock is registered at the title level and it will appear on a title print at the bottom.
