We Make Complicated Feel Easy

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. In Alberta, a lawyer is required to handle the title transfer, register the mortgage, and ensure all legal requirements are met. Our firm handles all of this as part of our flat-rate service.

The timeline varies depending on your possession date. Typically, we schedule your signing meeting 1–7 days before possession for buyers, and 1–2 weeks before for sellers. On possession day, keys are usually released around lunchtime once funds are confirmed.

Our flat rate includes all legal fees, disbursements, and GST for your real estate transaction. The price we quote is the price you pay — no hidden charges. Additional costs at closing (like property tax adjustments, condo fees, or title insurance) are transaction-specific and discussed upfront.

We email you a signing package to print. Then you join a recorded video call with your lawyer, who verifies your identity, explains each document, and witnesses your wet-ink signatures. After signing, you courier the originals back to our office. The entire process is legally valid across Alberta.

You'll need a device with a camera (laptop, tablet, or smartphone), a stable internet connection, a printer to print the signing package, and a pen for wet-ink signatures. We use Zoom for the video meeting, and the session is recorded for legal verification.

Sellers typically receive their proceeds on the afternoon of the possession date or the next business day. After the buyer's lawyer sends funds to our office, we pay out your mortgage, taxes, commissions, and legal fees, then deposit the remaining amount to your account.

Congratulations! After signing your purchase agreement, the process is straightforward: complete our online buyer intake form, share our contact details with your realtor and mortgage broker, arrange property insurance, and prepare your down payment and identification for the signing meeting. We'll guide you through every step.

Our Will Package is a comprehensive bundle that includes your Last Will and Testament (how your estate is distributed), a Personal Directive (appointing someone for healthcare decisions if you're incapacitated), and a Power of Attorney (designating authority over your legal and financial matters). Pricing is transparent with no surprise fees.

Delays are uncommon but can happen if the buyer's mortgage lender is slow to release funds, or if required documents (like a Real Property Report with municipal compliance) are missing. We proactively manage timelines to minimize any risk of delay, and we'll keep you informed throughout.

You can return your signed originals by dropping them off in person (Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM), by Purolator courier within Canada, or via international couriers like FedEx, UPS, or DHL for documents outside Canada.
