From what I heard Alberta Land Titles Office is currently migrating to their backup servers and are in the testing phases right now. It might be up and running tomorrow. I certainly hope so as our company uses the LTO site pretty extensively.
That said, for a home purchase the lawyer should have the title pulled in advance to check for any relevant encumbrances that might affect the transfer. The actual paperwork usually takes a week or two to process by LTO anyway. Idon't know the whole process as the lawyer takes care of most of it,but I think you should be okay on the possession front.
