They could, by arguing they have a legitimate interest in the property. That’s why making a professional Will is so important.

A court could order the title disgorged if your family member can show they had an agreement or contract with the title holder to transfer the property, or part of it, to them. Selling the property can create a constructive trust if the seller would be “unjustly enriched” by doing so.  

For instance, a divorcing couple was awarded a 75% share in a father’s acreage after building a home, and paying the property taxes, insurance, and maintenance on it for over 30 years. The divorcing couple was ordered by the court to sell the property, give 25% to the father’s estate, and split the balance (Tomek v Zabukovec, 2020 ONSC 2930).

While the couple lacked evidence they had an oral contract with the father to inherit, the judge was sympathetic that they had invested time, energy, and financial resources in the land on the understanding they would.

A high-end but unusual home can be challenging to sell. Don’t expect it to go quickly unless the design reflects the latest decor and architectural trends. 

That’s the case for the blue-hued, geometric shaped 1 Bond Avenue in York Mills. The 1996 Zac Ganhim-designed home unfolds like an accordion, and is pierced by dagger-like truss over its portico. Corner lot notwithstanding, it took six months to sell in 2004, after a $145,000 price reduction.   

Unusual shapes like circular, sunken living rooms, or octagonal dining areas, may be visually pleasing to you, but could limit the pool of buyers interested in your property. Making furnishings fit may call upon some creative visualization by buyers, who could be worried about their own resale prospects. 

Calling in a home stager or interior designer can’t hurt, and might help.

That depends on when they moved in and their status. Foreign buyers of Ontario property have up to six months to make it their principal residence. They may be exempt from NRST if they buy the property jointly with a legally married spouse, or common law partner of three or more years (or who they have children with) who:

  • is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, or
  • participates in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, or 
  • is a protected person with refugee status. 

The tax applies to buyers who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and foreign corporations or foreign nationals. Taxable trustees with at least one foreign entity, or a beneficiary who’s a foreign entity, also pay the NRST.

Buyers owe the tax when they acquire a piece of land having one to six single family residences on it. Principal homes can include detached or semi‑detached houses, townhouses, or condo units (each unit counts as one residence). 

Axess Law’s Burlington real estate lawyer reviews your agreement of purchase and sale for essential clauses for buyers, like the right to a professional home inspection. Our attorneys check the offer to purchase for the seller’s right to cancel if a buyer is late with a good faith deposit, or to keep the deposit if the buyer walks away without mutual consent.

You can use a virtual real estate lawyer in Burlington to amend contracts to change terms and conditions when needed. If a seller gets a better offer, or a buyer wants minor repairs made, we negotiate with the other party’s lawyer on your behalf.

Axess Law adds title insurance to homes and property to prevent mortgage fraud, and transfers the title from seller to buyer to conclude the sale.
