Independent Legal Advice & Representation in Ontario
When entering into a legal agreement—especially one involving real estate, joint ownership, or family relationships—it’s crucial that you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to and how it may affect your rights. That’s where Independent Legal Advice (ILA) comes in.
At Jaramillo Law PC, we provide impartial, confidential legal advice to ensure you’re fully informed before signing anything. We review every detail of the agreement, identify potential risks, and advise you on your entitlements, obligations, and options under Ontario law.
What Is Independent Legal Advice (ILA)?
ILA is often required when:
- Two parties share a personal or financial relationship (e.g., spouses, partners, family members)
- You’re being asked to sign a legal document that may affect your legal or financial rights
- A lender, buyer, or other third party requires confirmation that you’ve obtained separate legal counsel
Having ILA ensures that:
- You understand the agreement and your obligations
- You’re entering into the agreement voluntarily and without pressure
- You have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive honest, independent advice
