    In most cases, dealing with registrations on title in a foreclosure matter is relatively straightforward. Typically, the maxim of “redeem up, foreclose down” lends itself to an easy solution when inspecting title. If a registration falls behind your client’s mortgage, you don’t need to worry about it for the purposes of taking title or conveying title. Condominium caveats and Notices of Security Interests represent a departure from this general proposition. This paper summarizes the current law regarding these types of interests, while also providing some potential solutions to resolving issues that may arise.
