In this case, however, the husband did disclose to the wife that he had an interest in the farmland and that there was money owing on the farmland, which would suggest that he did not have unencumbered title. After receiving independent legal advice, the wife did not inquire about the property or seek additional information about the proposed exemption. If the wife was unaware of the exact interest owned by the husband in the farmland, that does not take away from the fact that she was aware that she was giving up her claim to the farmland: see Tardif v.
