The Role of a Real Estate Lawyer in Ontario

When choosing a lawyer for your real estate needs in Ontario, it’s crucial to pick an experienced one. Experienced real estate lawyers understand the complexities that can arise during home sales and work diligently to protect your interests.

In Ontario, lawyers handle residential and commercial transactions. We review documents, conduct due diligence searches, prepare closing paperwork, and ensure the transaction aligns with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

For residential real estate, we assist with buying, selling, leasing, renting, and property disputes. We can also provide guidance on property transfers and family or inherited properties.

In commercial transactions, we advise on zoning issues, perform due diligence, and review lease contracts, focusing on the various steps involved in real estate deals.

A qualified Ontario real estate lawyer simplifies the process, saving you time and money. In Ontario, you can’t buy or sell property without a real estate lawyer because they are the only ones authorized to register transactions through “Teraview,” the government’s land records database. Lawyers are essential for all real estate transactions in the province.
