Legal Needs
Purchasing a home involves a lot of paperwork, most of which are contractual documents that will legally bind you to the numerous terms and conditions. For this reason it is important to have a good lawyer acting for you. Someone to protect your rights and interests.
Finding a Lawyer
If you don't have a lawyer, you can look for a referral from friends, family or business acquaintances. Look for someone with real estate experience and discuss their fee scales. Your RE/MAX® Sales Associate can help you locate a reliable professional, whom you feel comfortable working with.Lawyer's Function
You will need a lawyer to process your purchase and ensure the terms are met:- the correct property is purchased
- transfer title to your name(s)
- ensure title is free and clear of prior owners encumbrances
- your mortgage is registered properly on title
The legal process varies from province to province within Canada. Specifically, you will need to consult with your chosen legal professional and he/she will explain the process and the steps that need to be completed before you get the keys to your new home.
Your lawyer will prepare a "Statement of Adjustments" outlining all the financial aspects of your sale.
