Answers to the most common questions our clients ask about property law in Quebec.
A title search is an examination of the public land registry to verify legal ownership, identify outstanding hypothecs (mortgages), liens, servitudes, and other encumbrances on a property. In Quebec, this step is critical because it reveals any hidden claims that could affect your rights as a new owner. Our team reviews the entire chain of title to ensure you receive a clear and marketable deed.
Most residential transactions close within 60 to 90 days from the acceptance of the offer to purchase. However, timelines can vary depending on financing conditions, inspection results, and the complexity of the title. We work proactively to prevent delays and keep all parties aligned on deadlines.
Yes. Even in a private or family sale, a notarized deed of sale is required in Quebec for the transfer to be valid and registrable. A lawyer or notary ensures the transaction complies with all legal requirements, including proper disclosure, tax considerations, and the protection of both parties. Skipping professional advice can lead to costly disputes later.
Start by obtaining a land survey from a certified surveyor to confirm the exact boundary lines. Then contact our office so we can review the survey, assess your legal options, and attempt to resolve the matter through negotiation. If an amicable solution is not possible, we can initiate legal proceedings to enforce your property rights under the Civil Code of Quebec.
Our fees depend on the nature and complexity of your matter. For standard residential transactions, we offer competitive flat-rate packages. For litigation, disputes, or complex commercial work, we typically charge on an hourly basis with a detailed retainer agreement. We always provide a transparent fee estimate during your initial consultation so there are no surprises.
