6 (1) A person who transfers land, or who makes an agreement, or assignment of an agreement, for the sale of land by which the purchase price is payable by instalments or at a future time, must register the person's own title in order that a person to whom all or part of the land is transferred and a person claiming under the agreement or assignment can register their instrument under the Land Title Act.

(2) A limitation which, before June 1, 1921, would have created an estate tail transfers the fee simple or the greatest estate that the transferor had in the land.

(2) A trustee or personal representative may transfer land to themselves in the trustee's or personal representative's personal capacity.
(3) A transfer by a joint tenant to themselves of the joint tenant's interest in land, whether in fee simple or by a charge, has and is deemed always to have had the same effect of severing the joint tenancy as a transfer to a stranger.
(4) A registered owner may make a transfer directly to themselves jointly with another, and registered owners may make a direct transfer to one or more of their number either alone or jointly with another.
(5) An owner in fee simple or an owner of a registered lease or sublease may grant to themselves an easement, a restrictive covenant, or a party wall agreement as defined in section 223.1 of the Land Title Act over land that the owner owns for the benefit of other land that the owner owns in fee simple, or of which the owner is the owner of a registered lease or sublease, but a grant under this subsection must be consistent with the interests held by the owner as grantor and grantee at the time of the grant.

(2) A transfer of land to a person without words limiting the interest transferred, or to a corporation sole by the corporation sole's corporate designation without the words "successors" passes the fee simple or the greatest estate or interest in the land that the transferor has power to transfer, unless the transfer expressly provides that a lesser estate or a particular interest is being transferred.
(3) A voluntary transfer need not be expressed to be for the use or benefit of the transferee to prevent a resulting trust.

(4) A reference in sections 23 and 24 to the "personal covenant" or "covenants" is deemed to be a reference to all covenants, terms and conditions in the mortgage or agreement for sale, and where those sections provide that liability in respect of the personal covenant or covenants ceases, liability ceases with respect to all those covenants, terms and conditions in the mortgage or agreement for sale.
21 (1) In an instrument transferring
(a) an estate in fee simple in land subject to a mortgage, or
(b) the purchaser's interest in an agreement for sale
that is entered into or made after November 30, 1988, there is implied, unless the parties have otherwise agreed in writing, a covenant by the transferee with the transferor to make payments under the mortgage or agreement for sale in accordance with its terms, and to indemnify the transferor against liability to pay the principal sum, interest, any other money secured and liability on any express or implied covenants of the mortgagor or purchaser.

(a) the amount secured by the mortgage or agreement for sale was not credited to the transferee in calculating the net proceeds payable on completion of the transfer, or

as though the current owner had entered into those covenants to make payments or to observe or perform the covenants, terms and conditions referred to in paragraph (b).
(4) Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply if the current owner establishes that the current owner, or a person from or through whom the current owner derived the current owner's right or title to the property, was not
(a) obligated to indemnify the current owner's transferor, or
(b) directly liable to the mortgagee or vendor
in respect of the liability under the mortgage or agreement for sale.
(5) The liability of a current owner under subsections (2) and (3) is limited to that amount that the current owner is under an obligation to pay or indemnify the current owner's transferor in respect of liability under the mortgage or agreement for sale.

(a) transfers an estate in fee simple in land subject to a residential mortgage that is, under the terms of the mortgage, payable on demand, or
(b) transfers a purchaser's interest under a residential agreement for sale that is, under the terms of that agreement, payable on demand,

(4) A waiver of the benefit contained in subsections (1) and (3) is of no effect unless it is entered into by the original parties to the mortgage or agreement for sale after the transfer or assignment referred to in subsections (1) and (3).
24 (1) Despite section 21 (1), if a mortgagee under a residential mortgage or a vendor under a residential agreement for sale gives written approval under this section to a person to whom
(a) the mortgagor transfers an estate in fee simple in land subject to the mortgage, or
(b) the purchaser transfers the purchaser's interest in the agreement for sale,
that mortgagor or purchaser ceases to be liable on all covenants contained in the mortgage or agreement for sale.

25 If the benefit of a restrictive covenant about building on or the use of land is annexed or purports to be annexed by an instrument to other land, the benefit, unless expressly agreed otherwise, is deemed to be annexed to the whole and to each and every part of that other land capable of benefiting from the restrictive covenant.
26 If an instrument gives a personal representative or a trustee, or a power of attorney gives an attorney, power to dispose of land, that person may, unless the instrument or power expressly precludes it, subdivide the land and dedicate to the public a part of it necessary to obtain the approval of the approving officer under the Land Title Act, and to complete the subdivision.
27 A sale, transfer or charge to or in favour of themselves named in a power of attorney, of land owned by the principal and purporting to be made under the power of attorney, is not valid unless the power of attorney expressly authorizes it or the principal ratifies it.

(a) advances made under it are repaid, or
(b) the account of the mortgagor with the mortgagee ceases to be in debit,
and the mortgage remains effective as security for further advances and retains the priority given by this section until the mortgagee has delivered a registrable discharge of the mortgage to the mortgagor but, if the mortgagor is not indebted or in default under the mortgage, the mortgagee must, on the mortgagor's request and at the mortgagor's expense, execute and deliver to the mortgagor a registrable discharge of the mortgage.
(4) Except as provided in this section, a right to tack in respect of mortgages of land is abolished but priority acquired before October 31, 1979 for further advances under a mortgage is not affected.

30 Until it is discharged, a mortgage by a purchaser or subpurchaser of the purchaser's or subpurchaser's interest under an agreement for sale of land or subagreement for sale of land charges the present and future interest in land acquired by the purchaser or subpurchaser under the agreement or subagreement, unless otherwise expressly provided in the mortgage.
31 (1) A mortgagor seeking to redeem a mortgage of property is entitled to do so without paying money due under a separate mortgage made by the mortgagor or by a person through whom the mortgagor claims, solely charging property not comprised in the mortgage the mortgagor seeks to redeem.
