LTSA Title Searching and Importing

This article provides information on LTSA title searching and importing on RealtiWeb BC. 

Accessing LTSA Title Search Feature on RealtiWeb

  1. To begin, open your file in RealtiWeb.
  2. On the Basic screen, you’ll see the Title Search section with four options:
    1. LTSA: This is the enhanced integration for LTSA title searches.
    2. Archived Searches: Use this to view searches performed under the old LTSA integration.
    3. Indian Land: To import searches performed on the Indian Lands Registry System (ILRS) website, click the view button and follow the onscreen instructions.
    4. Manufactured Home: To import searches performed in BC Manufactured Home Online, click the view button and follow the onscreen instructions.
  3. Click the view button below LTSA to open the Title Search screen.

Title Search Screen

Our search interface lets you run searches and view previous search results for:
  1. Title Searches
  2. Strata Plan Searches
  3. Parcel Information
  4. Pending App - Pending Applications
  5. Docs/Plans - Documents and Plans
  6. STC - State of Title Certificates
By default, each tab opens a new search screen where you can run a new search. If you have any previous searches, your latest result will be displayed. You can run a search by clicking the +New Search link in the left-hand column.
Note: The Strata Plan Searches tab only appears when you have indicated Strata as the property type in your file.

Entering your myLTSA Credentials

You can enter your myLTSA credentials each time you do a search, or you can choose to save them in your profile by going to Tools > User Settings > 3rd Party Account Information. Enter your credentials and click on the piggy bank to save to your profile.

To perform a title search, follow these simple steps:
  1. Update your File Reference (optional).
  2. You can run a title search by:
    1. Selecting a PID from your file;
    2. Entering a new PID not on your file; or
    3. Entering a Title No.
  3. After selecting a PID or entering the appropriate information, click Search.
You can perform subsequent searches by clicking on the +New Search link about the Previous Searches panel on the left.
Note: After performing the search, a charge will appear on your LTSA account.

Viewing Results

After clicking on Search, you will see the Summary results where you will confirm the title to search and whether you want to include cancelled charges. After you click on the blue Search link, the title search results will be displayed. For convenience, the screen displays any Vendors and Property Addresses you’ve previously entered into your RealtiWeb file. LTSA provides a PDF of the result which can be viewed by clicking the View PDF button.
Note: You can view the results of Previous Searches in the panel to the left of the screen. This panel displays the most recent search result at the top, showing the PID # in bold and the Title # and date the search was performed.

Owner and Property Information

Importing Owner Information

View the registered owner(s) of a property by clicking on the + beside Title Information to expand this section. The name(s) on title are displayed, and you have the choice to import these people on the file by selecting the appropriate option beside each name (Add as Registered Owner, Match Existing Name on File, etc.); to exclude a name, select Exclude from the dropdown. After making your selections, click on Import Owner Information to bring them into your file.

Importing Property Information

Expand this section by clicking on the + beside Property Information. In this section, you can choose which information you bring in from the search. You can make this the Primary Property or Append as a New Property by making the appropriate selection on the left. The Legal Description is displayed in the large box on the right. Below, you can choose to import the property’s address and/or import as the Vendor’s address for service. After making your selection, select Import Property Information.
Note: You can always come back to this screen to perform these or any other imports at any time.

Registrations/Liens/Charges

The registration list displays each instrument by number. Select which items you want to bring into your RealtiWeb file by using the check boxes after each item. After you’ve selected the items, click on the Import Registrations/Liens/Charges button.
Note: RealtiWeb remembers which items you’ve already imported and automatically only selects previously non-imported items in your subsequent searches for the same PID.

Buying Documents

You can now Buy Documents directly from this screen by clicking on the blue link below the Instrument #. After the document is purchased, this link will be changed to View PDF (you may need to click on a blue Refresh link after purchasing to get the View PDF option).
Note: To buy documents or plans without doing a complete title search, go to the Docs/Plans tab to purchase documents by Instrument #.

Legal Notations & Pending Applications

You can import Legal Notations into your file the same way you import information from the Registrations section of the search results. If there are any Pending Applications on this PID, they will automatically be displayed below the search results.
Note: You can always search for pending applications by going directly to the Pending App tab.

Other Types of Searches

Strata Plan Searches

If you are working with a strata property, you can search for Registrations, Liens, or Charges by Strata Plan #. Just like with Title Searches, you can purchase documents and import these items into your RealtiWeb file.

Parcel Information

A search by PID on the Parcel Info tab returns the Legal Description of a property.

Pending Applications

The Pend App tab displays any Pending Applications at the time of your search on your selected PID.

Documents and Plans

Use the Docs/Plans tab to purchase and view PDFs by searching directly by Instrument # or Plan #.
​

State of Title Certificate (STC)

On the STC tab, complete all the required fields, including the Title No. (as displayed in the screen image to the right), to order a State of Title Certificate. This returns a PDF file.
