An assignment for the benefit of his creditors made by a debtor voluntarily, as distinguished from a compulsory assignment which takes place by operation of law in proceedings in bankruptcy. Such constitutes an assignment of a debtor's property in trust to pay his debts generally, in distinction from a transfer of property to a particular creditor in payment of his demand, or to a conveyance by way of collateral security or mortgage.(Black, 6th, p. 119) 2, record 1, English, - voluntary%20assignment

The word "requisition" is used broadly to cover anything formally required of the other side in a real estate transaction. The thing required may be the correction of a title defect, the production of a draft document, a survey, mortgage statement, Land Division Committee consent or any other thing to which the party to the transaction is entitled. The object of making the requisition may be simply to remind the other party of an obligation under the contract to produce or do some specific thing or it may be to preserve a purchaser's right under the contract with respect to an alleged title defect.("Law Society of Upper Canada, Bar Admission Course, Real Estate Law", 1990-91, p. 8-1). 1, record 7, English, - requisition

[Location Certificates] are normally required by financial institutions with respect to the mortgaging of lands. They indicate the civic address, the relative position of the buildings on the lands to the lot boundaries, rights of way, etc. They serve as evidence to the financial institution that the house is actually on the lands being mortgaged. These plans are not registered in the registry office. Banks and mortgage companies often refer to these certificates as plot plans or survey certificates.(An Introduction to Property Law in the Maritime Provinces, 1981, amended to 1987, p. 51). 1, record 8, English, - certificate%20of%20location

A lien is a species of security, but differs from a mortgage, charge or the like in this respect, that in the case of a mortgage or charge the origin of the debt is immaterial(e. g., it may be a loan, a debt for goods sold, etc.) while a lien can only be a security on property which is or has been the subject of a transaction between the parties. … Lien arises either by operation of law or by agreement between the parties. …(Jowitt's Dictionary of English Law, 2nd ed., vol. 2, p. 1097) 2, record 9, English, - registration%20of%20claim%20for%20lien
