FAQ

Do I need title insurance?

Title insurance can protect against certain title defects and risks, and it may also help in situations where closing timelines are tight.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are out-of-pocket costs your lawyer pays to complete the transaction (searches, registrations, certificates, etc.). On purchases they typically range $300–$500; on sales they’re usually under $200.

How much does a typical residential transaction cost?

For standard residential purchases and sales, we charge a flat legal fee (and we can provide a quote). Disbursements are additional and depend on the transaction.

When should I contact a lawyer?

Ideally before you sign—an Agreement of Purchase and Sale becomes a binding contract once accepted, and it’s best to understand it early.
