Completing the LRS Title Notes
General
The title notes in the LRS are used by plans settlers to pass information on to the legal settler & others about the mapping of an application. The legal settler then uses this information when they are completing the title sheet for the property being registered. The information provided by plans settlers in the LRS title notes can also be useful to future viewers who are trying to understand why a cadastral unit or a title sheet looks the way it does.
Where possible, the templates provided on the LRS should be used for completing the title notes in a clear & consistent manner. Where using a template is not appropriate for a particular note, the title note should be clear & complete, containing all the information that the legal settler will need on that matter to process the application for registration.
When making amendments to the mapping of a cadastral unit in subsequent applications (for example, FAs, TAs, RRs, or DWs), it is helpful to give brief details of the amendment made in that application. Such notes should be added as an LRS title note. See examples in LRS Title Notes - Free Text under the heading Subsequent applications.
Title Notes and Plans Notes - which should you use?
There are two types of note that can be added in the title workdesk - title notes and plan notes.
The notes from plans to legal should be entered as title notes. The reason for this is that a plan note was automatically copied through and added to the DMS casenotes - as the DMS has been phased out, the use of these notes is no longer appropriate.
