Legal Services for Selling a Home
in Ontario
At Jaramillo Law PC, we understand that selling your home isn’t just about packing boxes and moving on—it’s a legal transaction with significant financial implications. Whether it’s your family home, an investment property, or part of your estate strategy, our team ensures that the sale is smooth, legally sound, and fully protected from start to finish.
We handle all the legal moving parts so you can focus on your next chapter.
What Happens When You Sell Your Home?
Once you’ve accepted an offer from a buyer, your real estate agent will prepare a binding Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS). This legal document outlines the terms and conditions of the transaction—but before you sign on the dotted line, it’s essential to have a real estate lawyer review it.
That’s where we come in.
Our Selling Services Include:
Review of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Before anything is finalized, we’ll thoroughly review your APS to ensure your rights are protected, timelines are realistic, and all terms are fair and compliant with Ontario real estate law.
Conducting a Title Search
We confirm that you have a clean and marketable title to the property, free of issues such as liens, encroachments, or outstanding permits. This step ensures the buyer receives a title with no surprises—and that you’re protected from post-sale liabilities.
Review of Buyer’s Documents
We’ll go over all documentation the buyer’s lawyer prepares to ensure everything aligns with the agreed terms. This includes:
- Statement of adjustments
- Direction regarding funds
- Confirmation of closing documents
Review of Insurance Binder
In coordination with the buyer’s lawyer and insurers, we verify that all necessary property insurance is in place, appropriately timed, and accurately reflects the ownership transfer.
Preparation of Legal Closing Documents
We draft and finalize all documents required to legally close the sale, including:
- Transfer of title
- Statement of adjustments
- Direction re: sale proceeds
We also coordinate with the buyer’s lawyer to ensure the smooth transfer of funds and title on closing day.
Arrangement of Title Insurance
We facilitate title insurance coverage to protect against unforeseen title defects, fraud, or clerical errors—offering peace of mind even after closing.
Review of Title Search and Writ Search Documents
We review the buyer’s title search findings and ensure there are no legal claims, court orders, or writs registered against your name or the property. Any issues? We’ll deal with them promptly and transparently.
