Understanding the structure of an RDPRM extract
An RDPRM extract is a PDF report generated by Quebec's Registre des droits personnels et réels mobiliers in response to a search against a natural or legal person. For a legal professional, reading it at a glance is a critical skill.
### The header The first page confirms your search parameters: name searched, date and time, confirmation number. Always verify the name matches what you expected — a missing accent or particle can cause you to miss a hypothec.
### Inscriptions Each inscription occupies a block with: inscription number (format YYYY-MM-DD-XXXX-XXXX), nature of right (chosen among the 112 official natures), form (RH, RG, RA, RD, RE, RJ, RL, RM, RP, RR, RV), parties (A and B per the nature), and optionally the targeted asset.
### Parent and child inscriptions Some inscriptions create a right (parent — e.g. movable hypothec), others modify it (child — e.g. partial discharge, rank assignment). In a results table, children must be attached to their parent as remarks, not as standalone rows.
### What to check first 1. Active movable hypothecs (RH) with their rank 2. Prior notices of exercise (RP) that signal active litigation 3. Rank assignments (RG) that change collocation order 4. Legal hypothecs (tax, construction) that prime regardless of inscription order
Tablix automates the full transposition of the extract into a structured table, with deduplication and formatting in your firm's template.
