Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often on real estate, mortgage, notary, and family law matters.
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home in Ontario?
Yes. A lawyer handles the title search, closing documents, lender requirements, registration, and release of funds so the transaction closes properly and on time.
What are typical closing costs on a purchase?
Closing costs usually include legal fees, disbursements, land transfer tax, title insurance, and adjustments. The exact amount depends on the property and transaction details.
How fast can a refinance close?
Many refinance files can close quickly once mortgage instructions, identification, and supporting documents are in place. Timing depends on the lender and the complexity of the title work.
What do you need for notary services?
Bring valid government-issued identification and the documents that need to be notarized or commissioned. If witnesses are required, ask in advance so the appointment can be arranged properly.
How long does a divorce process take?
The timeline depends on whether the matter is uncontested or contested, whether parenting or property issues are in dispute, and how quickly disclosure and court steps move forward.
How is child support calculated?
Child support is generally calculated under the Federal Child Support Guidelines using income, the number of children, parenting arrangements, and any special or extraordinary expenses.
