Question: Ms. Isabelle Roy, a broker in Sherbrooke, is working with a seller of a detached home. The seller informs her that his property boundary markers were recently updated by a land surveyor, which resulted in a slight adjustment to the lot's dimensions. How should Ms. Roy advise her client regarding these changes in relation to the Land Register?

Answer options: ✅ The seller must ensure the land surveyor files the new plan and procès-verbal of demarcation with the Land Register for publication.

• The changes will be automatically updated in the Land Register by the municipality.
• The broker only needs to update the property's listing description with the new dimensions.
• The seller should verbally inform potential buyers about the updated boundaries during visits.

Correct answer: The seller must ensure the land surveyor files the new plan and procès-verbal of demarcation with the Land Register for publication.

Explanation: Any modification to a cadastral plan, such as those resulting from an updated survey or demarcation, must be published in the Quebec Land Register to be opposable to third parties, as per Article 3026 of the Civil Code of Québec. The land surveyor is responsible for preparing and depositing these documents.
