What Is An Instrument?
Before you start searching with Title Check, you need to know what instruments and dealings refer to.

What Are Financial Instruments?
Financial instruments can be real or digital documents that represent a legal agreement involving any kind of monetary value.
You can divide these financial instruments into the following asset classes:
- Debt-based financial Instruments - These are loans made by an investor to the owner of an asset, such as certificates of deposits, bonds, derivatives contracts, and bank deposits.
- Equity-based financial Instruments- These represent ownership of an asset, such as stock, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
- Foreign Exchange Instruments- These are transactions concluded on the currency market, such as futures, forwards, and options contracts.
Note: Stock exchanges aren't financial instruments. Stock exchanges are when financial instruments are traded.
What Is A Dealing?
Property deals relate to the sale, exchange, or any other disposition of property, such as ordinary and capital assets.
An ordinary asset refers to the properties taxpayers use for business or trade purposes.
For instance, a property you own for sale or inventory counts as an ordinary asset.
Generally, a capital asset is any type of property, regardless of whether it's connected to the taxpayer's trade or business.
Examples of capital assets include property for personal use, such as your home, car, and furniture. Another example is property intended for investment, such as stocks and bonds.
A plan or title may have multiple associated dealings. Usually, a 9-digit dealing number is created for each dealing or instrument in the Automated Title System (ATS).
