Your path from inquiry to closing

Initial consultation

We begin with a focused thirty-minute conversation — in person at our Laval office or by video call — to understand the nature of your transaction or dispute. There is no charge for this first meeting, and you leave with a clear outline of what legal steps lie ahead.

Document review and title search

Our team examines the deed of sale, municipal certificates, cadastral plans, and the land register to verify that the title is free of encumbrances, servitudes, or hidden liens that could jeopardise your investment.

Negotiation and drafting

We draft or revise the purchase agreement, mortgage documents, and any ancillary contracts such as lease assignments or builder warranties. Every clause is written in plain language so you know exactly what you are signing.

Notarial closing or court filing

For standard transactions we coordinate the notarial closing, ensuring funds are disbursed correctly and the deed is published at the registry office. For disputes, we prepare and file the necessary court proceedings on your behalf.

Post-closing support

After the keys change hands, we remain available for questions about property tax adjustments, condominium declarations, or any issues that surface during your first year of ownership.

Practice areas we cover

Residential purchase and sale

From single-family homes in Laval to duplexes and condominiums across the greater Montreal area, we handle every step of the conveyancing process. Our lawyers verify zoning compliance, review seller declarations, and ensure the transaction closes without surprises.

Commercial real-estate transactions

Acquiring an office building, negotiating a commercial lease, or structuring a joint-venture development agreement requires meticulous legal drafting. We protect landlords, tenants, and investors with contracts that anticipate market shifts and regulatory changes.

Title disputes and boundary conflicts

Encroachments, overlapping survey lines, and competing claims to a right of way can stall development and erode property value. We resolve these disputes through negotiation where possible and litigation when necessary, drawing on Quebec civil-law precedent.

Mortgage and refinancing counsel

We advise borrowers and lenders on hypothec registration, discharge of prior mortgages, and the legal implications of variable-rate or vendor-take-back financing. Our goal is to secure favourable terms while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Co-ownership and condominium law

Condominium declarations, by-law amendments, and disputes between co-owners require a lawyer who understands both the Civil Code provisions and the practical dynamics of shared-property governance. We assist syndicates and individual co-owners alike.

Construction and renovation liens

If a contractor has filed a legal hypothec against your property, or you are a builder seeking to protect unpaid invoices, we act quickly to register, contest, or enforce construction liens within the strict time limits imposed by Quebec law.

Common questions about real-estate law

At closing, your lawyer verifies that all conditions of the purchase agreement have been met, reviews the final statement of adjustments for property taxes and utilities, ensures the mortgage funds are properly disbursed, and supervises the signing of the deed of sale before a notary. They also confirm that the title is transferred free of undisclosed encumbrances and that the deed is published at the Quebec Land Registry Office.
Most residential purchases close within 60 to 90 days from the acceptance of the offer. However, the legal work — title search, document drafting, and lender coordination — typically begins about 30 days before the scheduled closing date. Complex transactions involving rural land, heritage buildings, or multiple lenders may require additional time.
In Quebec, a notary can officiate the deed of sale, but a notary acts as an impartial officer and cannot advocate exclusively for one party. If you face a contested title, a boundary dispute, or complex negotiation, retaining your own lawyer ensures that someone is dedicated solely to protecting your interests throughout the process.
Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for the welcome tax (droits de mutation), title insurance premiums, land-survey fees, notarial disbursements, and any outstanding municipal or school-board taxes that will be adjusted at closing. Our lawyers provide a detailed cost estimate during the initial consultation so there are no surprises on signing day.
Yes. We represent property owners who are subject to expropriation proceedings by municipal or provincial authorities, and we negotiate fair compensation based on independent appraisals. For rezoning matters, we prepare submissions to municipal planning committees and, when necessary, contest unfavourable decisions before the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec.
