In Ontario, buying a home is more than just signing a contract—it’s a legal transaction that involves transferring title, handling mortgage funds, paying land transfer tax, and registering ownership with the province. That’s why you need a lawyer to buy a house in Ontario.

Your lawyer’s role is to:

  • Review your agreement of purchase and sale
  • Search title and register ownership properly
  • Coordinate with your lender to manage mortgage instructions
  • Ensure all legal conditions are met before closing
  • Confirm that the property is legally yours and free of unexpected claims

Without a property lawyer, you can’t complete the legal steps needed to close the deal. Your lawyer protects your interests, handles the complex legal work, and ensures that everything is done right—on time, and without surprises.

At Keepmont Legal Services, we make that process simple, clear, and affordable.
