What is an annotation in title?

An annotation in the title is considered as a constructive notice to third persons that a property is subject to a lien or an encumbrance. Voluntary annotation or the removal thereof may be done by requesting the Registry of Deeds to record a certain transaction concerning the property.

What are the common annotations in title?
Common annotations: mortgage, lease, easements, and Section 4, Rule 74 (transfer by succession or Extrajudicial Settlement).

How do I remove annotations on the previous owner’s title?
If there are existing annotations during the transfer, such annotations are carried over on the new title issued to the owner. It will only be removed once the obligation concerning the property has been discharged, or once you have the complete requirements for its removal.
