If you reside in Ontario, a title registration change lets you transfer ownership in a property, add someone to a property title or remove parties who no longer have property interests. Axess Law’s experienced Real Estate team prepares land transfer tax affidavits and ensures the property is legally yours when you close real estate transactions. We work with you if liens or legal claims against a property title threaten to delay real estate purchases.
Land or a home you purchase in Ontario isn’t legally yours until a transfer of title occurs. Likewise, sellers or family members who offer to sell or give you property may not be authorized to grant the title to anyone. Axess Law’s Ontario real estate lawyers ensure when you receive an offer of land, a home or investment property that you are dealing with the legal owner. Our professional real estate attorneys protect you from fraud or misrepresentation by conducting a thorough title search before we transfer any property deed into your name. Only certain, qualified professionals can register title to property in Ontario. Using Axess Law ensures your lawyer takes the time to verify all the owners to a title and properly register your new title.
