Before any property changes hands, a lawyer must confirm that the seller has clear ownership and legal right to transfer it. Title searches help uncover any liens, caveats, or other issues. Once clear, your lawyer facilitates the legal transfer of title to ensure a secure and legitimate ownership handover.
Your lawyer plays a critical role in managing the closing process—handling the exchange of funds, registering the transfer with the Land Titles Office, and ensuring all necessary documentation is complete. This ensures a seamless handoff between parties and protects both buyer and seller during the final steps.
Whether you’re applying for a new mortgage or refinancing an existing loan, your lawyer can review your mortgage terms and register the loan with the Land Titles Office. This helps ensure that your lender’s interest in the property is secured and that your rights as a borrower are fully understood.

Yes. In most instances in Alberta, real estate lawyers are legally required to complete the purchase or sale of a home. They handle tasks like reviewing contracts, transferring titles, registering the property, and managing funds to ensure the transaction is legally valid and secure for all parties.
A lawyer reviews contracts, conducts title searches, registers title transfers, and ensures all legal documents are completed correctly. They also handle the transfer of funds between parties and communicate with your lender to register mortgages or discharges, helping protect you from legal or financial issues.
You should hire a real estate lawyer as soon as your offer to buy or sell a property is accepted. Involving a lawyer early ensures your contract is properly reviewed, key deadlines are met, and any legal concerns are addressed before closing.
A title search reviews a property’s ownership history and any registered interests, such as liens or easements. It ensures the seller has the legal right to transfer the property and that the buyer receives clear, undisputed ownership.
