In This Volume

The Land (Spouse Protection) Act provides protection for the interest of a spouse in a homestead. A spouse may obtain an entry on the register that the homestead is subject to this Act. The effect of the entry is that the interest of the other spouse may not be disposed of without the consent of the spouse who obtained the entry.

GENERAL EFFECT ON LAND TITLE PRACTICE

The Act establishes procedures for obtaining and removing an entry in the land title office and for consenting to dispositions.
