Deed Transfer Lawyer Toronto FAQ
A deed transfer (or title transfer) is a formal legal transaction that transfers ownership of a property. It is necessary in cases involving the purchase or sale of the property, the addition or removal of a title holder, inheritance of the property, or changes in title as a result of divorce, separation, or refinancing.
You may be required to produce the following:
- Identification
- A copy of your purchase agreement (if applicable)
- A current property tax bill
- Mortgage information
- Previous deeds or other title documents
At the outset, your lawyer will give you a specific list based on your circumstances.
We charge a fixed closing fee of $999* + tax for title transfers, with no additional costs to you. You also receive a full itemization of anticipated costs and taxes in advance, including all disbursements and land transfer taxes.
Most deed transfer transactions can be processed within 5–10 business days once all paperwork is in order. Situations that may slow down a title transfer include liens against the title, boundary challenges, unusual title history, or mortgage complexities.
Yes, even when adding or removing a family member, the transfer must be properly documented and registered with the land registry office and any property tax or land transfer tax adjustments must be made. A real estate lawyer will ensure your rights are protected and all requirements are met.
There are five key stages:
- Title search to confirm ownership and determine whether there are any liens or encumbrances registered on title
- Preparation and execution of documentation
- Transfer of funds and closing arrangements
- Registration of transfer with the land registry office
- Notification of the change of ownership to the tax office and the condominium management office, where applicable
A lawyer will perform a thorough title search, review all contracts and agreements for accuracy, ensure legal compliance with regulations, and address problems such as liens or encroachments that may not be disclosed by the seller. This reduces the potential for error or oversight.
Your lawyer deals with the discharge of the old mortgage, and coordinates the registration of the new mortgage if there is one, and the final transfer of clear title on closing. This may require adjustment of funds on closing or payouts from the proceeds.
Yes, as well as municipal land transfer taxes on transfers within the city of Toronto, first-time home buyers may claim credits involving a percentage of the land transfer tax. On inherited properties, there are potential estate taxes triggered on death. Your lawyer will clarify any tax obligations you have or credits you may be entitled to.
Remote signings are an option. By signing documents through a secure online channel, you can complete your transaction virtually, with a lawyer available to notarize your papers and provide advice and instructions.
You must provide your real estate lawyer with documentation relating to your inheritance, including the will, death certificate, and probate documents. Beyond registering the transfer, your lawyer will conduct a title search and verify your new ownership, make any adjustments to taxes or charges, and file the transfer.
Divorce and other family law related transfers often require additional court orders or separation agreements. Your lawyer will ensure that you are in compliance with all family law requirements, and assist with dividing ownership and protecting financial interests.
You will have a direct communication link to your lawyer and a client services team who will provide frequent updates about the progress of your transaction, along with explanations about any required documents or costs, and prompt responses to your inquiries.
Yes, your real estate lawyer will advise you of any relevant risk factors or tax ramifications relating to your situation, as well as any measures you can take to protect your assets and interests, depending on your short and long-term objectives.
Acute cases are given priority. While it may not always be possible to accelerate the process – often depending on complexities with the transaction – we are able to streamline certain elements such as document drafting and lender correspondence, if time is of the essence.
As an added precaution to protect you from 'hidden' defects going to title – including fraud and misrepresentation, building code violations, etc. – your lawyer is able to arrange a title insurance policy for you.
A few examples include the following:
- Arrangements for mortgage discharge
- Adjustments to the insurance policy enrolling new owners
- Transfer of tax or utility accounts
Owning a property through a numbered company or corporation is a common way to shield personal assets from risk. Your lawyer will inform you of options for structuring your ownership to best protect your investment.
Our file management system allows for the secure electronic transfer and storage of any private or sensitive information. All client data and correspondence is encrypted between parties and legally protected as confidential.
We make it easy for you to connect with us by phone, email, or online through our website so you can arrange a free, no-obligation consult to learn how we will handle your deed transfer and what the process, costs, and next steps are – with no retainer required.
