itself, the certificate is an acceptable

register an interest in land, as defined in LOTA, in BC’s land title register, a transparency declaration must be filed to the

LOTA Administrator by the transferee(s). A transferee that is a reporting body must also complete and file a transparency

report setting out information about the reporting body and interest holders. We recommend you consult a legal

professional to understand your obligations. More information is available at landtransparency.ca

report. For further information, visit
