Real Estate Conveyancing

Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring property from one owner to another owner.

When selling your property, we will communicate with the notary or lawyer for your purchaser, review the documents, including the Vendor’s Statement of Adjustments, and prepare the Order to Pay. If you have a charge such as a mortgage or line of credit registered against your title, we will pay out and discharge it from the sale proceeds.

When purchasing a property, we will prepare the documents needed to convey the property to you. In addition, if you are obtaining a mortgage, we will prepare those documents for you and the lender. Also, if you need legal advice and arrangements for estate planning to secure your family’s future and your own, you can rely on us to help.

If you own property, you might need a lawyer to refinance your mortgage or obtain a second one. The lender will provide us with the mortgage instructions, and we will prepare the documents and register the new mortgage at the Land Title Office. We will also pay out any debts as instructed.
