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.

Thanks, I just got back from the lawyer. I should get possession on Monday no matter what, but if LTO isn't online I have to either buy title insurance or pay the interest penalty to the seller until the title can be registered. Few hundred bucks. Lawyers are scrambling, lots of deals this week have this problem.
