Abstract

The present Act provides for a framework to protect the integrity of the land titles system in Yukon, to secure interests of property owners, and provide new economic development options. Furthermore, the Act establishes a new mechanism for registering settlement land while safeguarding aboriginal rights and title. This will create new residential and commercial development opportunities. The Land Title Office shall keep pace with the volume and complexity of modern land dealings in Yukon and provide more accessible land titles information. The text consists of 217 sections divided into 10 Parts as follows: Interpretation (1): Administration (2); Registration (3); Certificates of title (4); Registration of instruments and caveats (5); Transmission of titles and encumbrances (6); Fees and establishment of assurance fund (7); Actions for ejectment, recovery of land or damages (8); Legal proceedings (9); General (10).
