Mortgage Transactions (Refinance)
Real estate lawyers can assist with mortgage refinancing. Refinancing your home can be a wise financial move, allowing you to access the equity in your property and potentially lower your monthly mortgage payments. However, it is important to be aware of the typical closing costs associated with refinancing. Transparency in providing detailed estimates and exploring strategies to minimize these costs is crucial. Working with a Toronto real estate lawyer is essential to protect your interests.
Transfer of Ownership / Title
Transferring title ownership involves adding or removing a person from the ownership or title of a property, and this process is typically carried out by lawyers.
Aside from the typical reasons for buying or selling a property, individuals may have various motives for transferring partial or full ownership. Some common causes for a title transfer include divorce or separation, fulfilling mortgage or refinancing obligations, transfers between trustees and nominees, and survivorship applications to acquire sole ownership of a property after the passing of a spouse or partner.
Assignment of Property
An Assignment refers to a transaction in which the original purchaser of a property (the Assignor), grants another buyer (the Assignee) the right to take over their Agreement of Purchase & Sale before the original buyer completes the transaction.
This type of transaction is mostly seen in pre-built homes and condominiums, where the Assignee will eventually finalize the transaction with the seller (the builder). Until the transaction is completed by the Assignee, the Assignor remains responsible under the Agreement of Purchase & Sale. The Assignor must obtain written approval from the seller to assign the property, and if approved, there may be a fee involved, and specific conditions must be met.
Survivorship Application
A Survivorship Application in Toronto is a legal procedure used when one owner of a property held in joint tenancy passes away. In such instances, the property is automatically passed to the surviving joint tenant(s) without going through probate or being included in the deceased’s estate for distribution. This process is based on the principle of the “right of survivorship”, a feature of joint tenancy ownership.
The application is a document submitted to the Ontario Land Registry Office that allows the deceased individual’s name to be removed from the property title, effectively transferring full ownership to the surviving joint tenant(s). The application must accompany a copy of the death certificate and other required documents to prove the joint tenant’s death.
Condo Status Certificate Review
Our lawyer can conduct a status certificate review in Toronto at reasonable rates for condominium units to mitigate unwanted issues or delays. This certificate outlines crucial information, including the corporation’s budget, common expenses, ongoing legal matters, insurance status, imminent significant repairs or maintenance concerns, and the reserve fund. The reserve fund is to be used in the event of major expenses relating to common areas of the condominium, such as renovations or repairs to parking structures or balconies, which may draw from this fund. Inadequacies in the reserve fund might lead to substantial expenses and higher fees.
During the review of a status certificate, the lawyer will identify potential red flags that might lead to substantial future hikes in common expenses or other unwelcome surprises.
Property Title Review
The title to a property acts as a legal document that lays out its ownership rights. Conducting a thorough title review is crucial to uncovering any possible issues affecting the property’s ownership, value, and marketability. This process involves examining a property’s historical records, documents, and public records to determine its ownership history, legal status, and potential issues.
