MAKI LAW
Real Estate Sale
Practical legal support for selling your property. Maki Law helps you prepare the documentation, address title matters, and coordinate the transfer on closing.
A coordinated property closing
Your sale agreement sets the terms and deadlines for closing. We review the legal requirements and communicate with the buyer’s lawyer so the transfer can proceed on the agreed terms.
Early preparation matters, particularly where mortgages, ownership changes, estate issues, or other registrations affect the property.
Structuring the sale agreement
Define the property, price, deposit, conditions, completion obligations, and possession terms in writing. A tailored review helps identify where the agreement needs clarification or special treatment for your sale.
Legal coordination for a home sale
The legal process brings together title inquiries, seller documents, mortgage payouts, adjustments, and the transfer. Early information about ownership, secured borrowing, and occupation supports a practical closing plan.
Examining the buyer’s proposed terms
Review the obligations you are accepting, including representations, included items, conditions, and possession promises. We discuss unclear wording and potential revisions before agreement, or compliance questions after signing.
Understanding seller closing expenses
The gross price is not the same as net proceeds. Mortgage payouts, lender charges, adjustments, legal expenses, and commission where applicable need to be considered when budgeting for your next transaction.
Ownership transfers and title clearance
A transfer or title issue can require review of registered interests, authority, lender consent, and transaction documents. Discuss the purpose and wider implications before assuming a change is purely administrative.
Selling privately without a realtor
Private sellers still need defined contract terms, appropriate disclosure advice, deposit arrangements, and coordination of closing. We discuss legal responsibilities and representation so informal negotiations become a documented transaction.
Handling unusual sale circumstances
Multiple owners, estate or corporate parties, private financing, tenancies, and disputed interests can complicate completion. We assess the documents and identify what must be addressed, by whom, and within what timetable.
Clarifying fees and seller commitments
A useful estimate identifies the legal work, separate expenses, and circumstances that may require additional services. We also help you understand the obligations the agreement places on you as the seller.
Commercial-property transactions
Commercial deals can involve leases, corporate authority, financing, permitted use, and detailed due diligence. We coordinate the legal aspects with the relevant business, tax, and technical advisors.
Estate and power-of-attorney sales
Authority to sell and sign must be established using the relevant documents and title information. We discuss the property-closing requirements alongside any separate estate administration, capacity, or tax issues.
Selling while non-resident
Canadian tax compliance, certificate and withholding arrangements, overseas signing, and banking need advance planning. We coordinate the legal closing with the information and advice required from your tax professional.
