What is a Caution on Title? A caution is a notice registered on title that alerts anyone searching the property that another party may have an interest or claim affecting the property. While a caution does not create ownership rights by itself, it can serve as an important protective step while legal issues are being resolved or where a party has an interest that should be disclosed on title. Cautions are commonly registered in situations involving: • Unregistered interests in property • Pending transactions or agreements • Disputes relating to ownership or beneficial interests • Private lending or security interests • Options to purchase or agreements affecting title • Family law or trust claims involving property Proper legal advice is important to ensure a caution is appropriate and properly drafted.
