What is the purpose of the title plan?

• A. To illustrate boundaries
• B. To show owner's name
• C. To record encumbrances
• D. To list property tax

Answer: (A)

The title plan is a scaled map that shows the exact boundaries and extent of the land described in the title. It helps you see the shape of the parcel, where its limits lie, and how it sits in relation to neighbouring plots and features like roads or fences. This allows buyers and sellers to verify precisely what land is being transferred and to spot any boundary questions before completion. The owner’s name isn’t shown on the plan—that’s on the title register. Encumbrances such as mortgages or easements aren’t recorded on the plan; they appear in the register or separate rights documents. Tax details aren’t part of the title plan either. So, its purpose is to illustrate boundaries.
