Which statement correctly describes the unilateral notice removal on completion?

• A. The UN cannot be removed after completion
• B. The beneficiary can cancel UN only by court order
• C. Only the beneficiary can cancel UN
• D. Beneficiary of UN can apply to cancel at any time; a special condition may require removal upon completion

Answer: (D)

Unilateral notice is a register entry that flags a third party’s potential or contingent interest in land and is intended to protect that interest while the matter is unresolved. It stays on the title until it is cancelled. The beneficiary who holds the interest can apply to cancel the unilateral notice at any time, and there can be a provision in the transaction that requires its removal on completion. So, if a sale or other disposition completes and the underlying interest is satisfied or released (or the transfer deed includes a removal provision), the UN is removed as part of completing the transaction. This is why the statement reflects both the ability to apply to cancel at any time and the possibility of a special completion-related removal condition.
