File a caveat to protect your interest under a purchase agreement for Alberta land with this free Form 26.

What is a caveat?

A caveat is a document that is registered against the title to a parcel of land, to tell all interested parties that the person filing the caveat (the caveator) has an interest in the land. The word caveat is Latin, meaning "let him beware". Any party dealing with the land after the date the caveat is registered is subject to the caveator's interest.

What is the purpose of this Form 26?

The Caveat Forbidding Registration form is a warning that any transactions or proceedings that affect the property, such as a sale or a new mortgage, could override an existing, unregistered interest claimed by the caveator.

This form would be appropriate when registering a purchaser's interest under a purchase agreement between the caveator and the seller of the property.
