Questions before you get started?
Here are answers to some common questions about working with KS Law. If you have a question about your specific situation, contact us directly.
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home in Ontario?
Yes. In Ontario only a lawyer can register a transfer of land and a mortgage, and every purchase or sale must close through a lawyer. Beyond the registration itself, your lawyer reviews the agreement, searches title, resolves liens and work orders, arranges title insurance, calculates land transfer tax and adjustments, and certifies that you are getting clear title.
How much are closing costs when buying a home?
Budget for land transfer tax (plus the additional Toronto municipal land transfer tax if the property is within the City of Toronto), legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, registration fees, and adjustments for property taxes and utilities. First-time buyers may qualify for provincial and Toronto land transfer tax refunds. We provide a written estimate before you commit.
How quickly can you close a refinance or mortgage switch?
Most refinances and lender switches can be completed within a week to ten days of receiving the mortgage instructions, and rush files can often be done faster. Because we handle private mortgages daily, we are used to short timelines and firm funding dates.
What do you need for a private mortgage transaction?
For a lender: the commitment letter, appraisal, and instructions. For a borrower: identification, the commitment, proof of fire insurance naming the lender, and current property tax information. We handle the search, security documents, priority and postponement arrangements, and registration.
What should I bring for notary or commissioner services?
Bring valid government-issued photo identification and the original document. For certified true copies, we must see the original, not a photocopy. Most notarizations are done same-day and often while you wait. Tell us in advance if the document is in another language or is intended for use outside Canada.
How long does a divorce take in Ontario?
A simple, uncontested divorce typically takes 4 to 8 months from filing to final order. Contested divorces involving parenting, support, or property disputes can take 12 to 24 months or longer depending on the court’s calendar and the complexity of the issues.
Do I need a lawyer to review a condo status certificate?
Yes, and it should be reviewed before your condition period expires. We review the status certificate, budget, reserve fund study, insurance, declaration and rules, and special assessments, then report on anything that affects value or your ability to finance the unit.
What happens to the matrimonial home on separation?
The matrimonial home has special status in Ontario: both spouses have an equal right to possession regardless of whose name is on title, and it cannot be deducted at the marriage date. The home is usually sold, bought out through a refinance, or transferred as part of the overall settlement. Because we practise both family and real estate law, we can handle the legal settlement and the resulting transaction in-house.
