We handle all the details so you can move forward with confidence.
What Is a Title Transfer?
A title transfer legally changes ownership of a property. This may happen when:
- Selling or gifting property to a family member
- Removing or adding someone from the title (e.g., after marriage or divorce)
- Transferring ownership due to estate planning or inheritance
- Finalizing a private sale or refinancing transaction
This process must follow strict legal requirements under Ontario real estate law—and that’s where we step in.
Our Title Transfer Legal Services Include:
Review of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (If Applicable)
If your title transfer is part of a sale or property exchange, we’ll carefully review the APS to confirm the terms align with the transfer and protect your legal interests.
Review of Insurance Binder
We verify the property’s insurance coverage during the title transfer process, ensuring there’s no lapse in protection and that the new owner is properly covered from day one.
Preparation of Legal Closing Documents
We handle all required legal documentation, including the Transfer/Deed of Land, Land Transfer Tax Affidavit, and Statement of Adjustments, ensuring everything is drafted and executed properly for the transfer to be legally binding.
Review of Title Search Documents
We conduct and review a full title search to confirm the current status of the property’s ownership, identify any existing mortgages, easements, or encumbrances, and ensure the title is clean before the transfer occurs.
Arrangement of Title Insurance
Whether it’s a family transfer or part of a purchase, we’ll help secure title insurance to protect against future claims or title defects, such as fraud, outstanding liens, or errors in public records.
Review of Writ Search Documents
We perform a writ search to identify any judgments, liens, or legal claims registered against the current owner. If anything appears, we’ll advise on the necessary steps to clear or resolve the issue before proceeding.
