Understanding Nova Scotia’s Land Registration System

In Nova Scotia, most properties are already part of the province’s Land Registration System (LRS), a modern online registry that replaced the old paper-based system. While most real estate transactions no longer require conversion, some cases may still involve unconverted properties, such as newly subdivided lots or older parcels that have never changed hands.

At LM Legal Solutions, we check the registration status of each property at the outset and handle any necessary steps to complete a migration when required. Our team ensures that your transaction complies with provincial regulations and proceeds without unnecessary delays.
