Using the Deceased/Bankrupt Field

Using this field, you can access Land Registry information related to a deceased individual or a bankrupt individual or non-individual after ownership has transferred to a representative.  
 
NOTE: The percent (%) and underscore (_) wildcards function the same way in the Deceased/Bankrupt field as they do in the Given Name and Mailing Address fields.
 
  1. Select the Firm Name or Family Name radio button, as applicable.
  2. Key the name of the representative in the Firm Name or Family Name field, as applicable.
  3. Check the Include Names That Are Similar in Spelling box if you would like to expand your search to include all names of similar spelling and phonetics to that of the representative.  This step is useful if you are unsure of the correct spelling of the name.  See the Techniques for Searching by Owner Name section for more information.
  4. Key the name of the deceased individual or bankrupt individual or non-individual in the Deceased/Bankrupt field.
  5. Key in any other information related to the representative that will help define your search in the optional fields available (e.g. Given Name, Phone Number, Mailing Address).  This will bring back fewer results to choose from but may cause problems if incorrect information is given.  Be careful not to “over-define” your search.  Only use information that you know to be true and accurate.
  6. Select SEARCH. An Owner Name List will display.

 

    7. Select the Document icon  located next to the name that you wish to search.  A Title Information screen will display.

Whenever the Fee icon ($)  displays next to an icon or button, a fee may be charged for selecting that icon or button.  You can determine the amount of the fee (if any) by selecting the Fee icon ($)  located next to the icon or button that you wish to select.  If no Fee icon  displays, no fee will be incurred for selecting an icon or button.



NOTE:There are several possibilities if the search results you require are not displayed. These include:

  • The criteria have been incorrectly keyed. Double-check your search criteria
  • The title or abstract that you are searching may be inactive.

Please refer to the View Title or Abstract Details, Print or Request a Copy of Title or Abstract Details, or View Parcel Picture sections, as applicable, to continue.
