Overview
You can change or remove a name on a land title for various reasons.
The following forms are the most common documents used to change ownership of land or property.
How to change a title ownership
Step 1. Fill out the form you need
Add or remove a name
The form must be signed by all of the current registered owners.
Remove a deceased joint tenant
You must include the original or a notarized copy of one of the following certificates:
- Vital Statistics Registry certificate
- Medical Examiner’s certificate
- funeral director’s certificate
- cremation certificate
- document issued by a comparable authority if the death occurred outside of Alberta.
Only an original death certificate will be returned to you, all other original certificates will be retained by Land Titles.
Remove a deceased tenant-in-common or sole owner
You must include an original filed copy of the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration from the Surrogate Court of Alberta. A notarized copy is unacceptable. If it has been issued from a court in a jurisdiction other than Alberta, it must be re-sealed by the Surrogate Court of Alberta.
