Find answers to the questions our clients ask most often.
While Quebec law requires a notary to authenticate the deed of sale, having a lawyer review the offer to purchase, inspect title conditions, and advise on contractual clauses provides an essential layer of protection. A lawyer can identify legal risks that a standard notarial review may not cover, such as undisclosed servitudes or non-conforming zoning uses.
A title search examines the chain of ownership recorded at the Quebec Land Registry to confirm that the seller has clear legal authority to transfer the property. It also reveals any liens, hypothecs, easements, or legal encumbrances that could affect your rights as the new owner. This step is critical to avoiding costly surprises after closing.
In Quebec, the period between signing the offer to purchase and the final closing typically ranges from 30 to 90 days, depending on the conditions included in the offer. Our team works efficiently to complete due diligence, coordinate with financial institutions, and prepare all documentation well in advance of the closing date.
The first step is to obtain a professional land survey to establish the exact property boundaries. If the dispute persists, we can assist with mediation or, if necessary, represent you in court. Under the Civil Code of Quebec, specific rules govern boundary marking, shared fences, and encroachments, and our team is well versed in applying these provisions effectively.
We offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing for standard residential transactions and provide detailed estimates for more complex matters during your initial consultation. Our goal is to ensure you understand all costs upfront so there are no surprises. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific needs.
