Protect your property investment
Our approach
We sit down — in person or by video — and listen. Every property situation is different, and we need to understand the full picture before recommending a path. There is no charge for this first meeting, and no obligation to proceed.
Our team examines the land registry, surveys, municipal zoning bylaws, environmental certificates, and any encumbrances that could affect the transaction. We flag risks early so they never become surprises at closing.
From purchase agreements to servitude declarations, we draft and review every document with precision. Where disputes arise, we negotiate resolutions that protect your interests while keeping deals on track.
We manage the notarial closing, ensure funds are disbursed correctly, and register all instruments at the land registry. After closing, we remain available for any follow-up questions about your property rights.
What we handle
We guide first-time buyers and seasoned homeowners through every stage of a residential transaction in Quebec. From the promise to purchase through to the deed of sale, we verify title, review conditions, and ensure your rights are fully protected under the Civil Code.
Commercial transactions involve complex lease structures, environmental assessments, and multi-party negotiations. We represent landlords, tenants, and investors in acquisitions, dispositions, and joint-venture arrangements across retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties.
A clean title is the foundation of every real-estate transaction. We conduct thorough searches of the Quebec land registry, identify encumbrances such as hypothecs, servitudes, or prior claims, and work with title insurers to resolve defects before they delay your closing.
Municipal zoning regulations in Quebec can significantly affect what you can build or how you can use a property. We assist with variance applications, subdivision approvals, and appeals before the Tribunal administratif du Québec when a municipality refuses a permit.
Encroachments, shared fences, and right-of-way disagreements can escalate quickly. We help resolve boundary disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary, drawing on surveyor reports and cadastral records to establish clear property limits.
Divided and undivided co-ownership in Quebec comes with unique obligations under the Civil Code. We draft and review declarations of co-ownership, advise syndicates of co-owners on governance matters, and represent individual owners in disputes over common expenses or building maintenance.
Common questions
Fees for a residential closing in Quebec typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 depending on the complexity of the transaction, the purchase price, and whether there are mortgage instructions to handle. We provide a written fee estimate after our initial consultation so there are no surprises.
Under Quebec law, the deed of sale must be executed before a notary. However, having a lawyer review the promise to purchase, negotiate conditions, and conduct independent due diligence is strongly recommended. Our team works alongside your notary to ensure every angle is covered.
Title insurance protects against losses arising from defects in title that were not discovered during the search — for example, a prior fraud, an unregistered servitude, or a survey error. While it is not legally required in Quebec, many lenders insist on it, and we generally recommend it as a cost-effective safety net.
Most residential transactions close within 60 to 90 days from the accepted offer. Commercial deals can take longer depending on due diligence requirements, financing conditions, and municipal approvals. We keep you informed at every stage so you always know where things stand.
Yes. Inherited properties often come with questions about estate settlement, transfer taxes, co-ownership with other heirs, and whether the title is clear. We coordinate with estate lawyers and notaries to ensure the property transfers smoothly into your name or is sold according to the estate plan.
