Why Brampton Homeowners Trust Perera Law with Title Transfers

  • Spousal and Matrimonial Title Additions: Adding a spouse or partner to your property title as joint tenants or tenants in common. We confirm survivorship rights are set up correctly so your family is protected.
  • Family and Gift Transfers: Transferring full or partial ownership between family members, including parent to child transfers. We review the structure to keep taxes and future complications to a minimum.
  • Refinance Co-Signer Removals: Removing a co-signer, guarantor or former partner from title after a refinance or payout. We update the deed so the public record matches your new financing.
  • Corporate and Holding Company Transfers: Moving a residential property from your personal name into a holding company or between related corporations. We handle the drafting and advise on the tax considerations.
  • Land Transfer Tax and Exemption Advice: Before anything is registered, we review whether Ontario land transfer tax applies and identify every exemption you qualify for, so there are no surprises.

Key Documents We Prepare and Review for Your Title Transfer

  • Transfer/Deed of Land: The legal document that officially moves ownership from one party to another, drafted to match your instructions exactly.
  • Up to Date Title Search Results: A fresh search confirming current ownership and flagging liens, judgments or restrictions before registration.
  • Land Transfer Tax Affidavit: The sworn statement filed with the transfer, setting out the consideration and any exemptions claimed.
  • Supporting Affidavits and Consents: Spousal consents, corporate resolutions or trustee authorizations that make your transfer valid and complete.

Common Questions: View all FAQ

  • Q1. How do I transfer my Brampton home to my spouse?

    Your lawyer prepares a transfer document reflecting the new ownership and registers it through Ontario's electronic land registration system. If there is an existing mortgage, your lender must consent to the change, so we handle that step early.

  • Q2. Do I pay land transfer tax when transferring property to a family member in Ontario?

    It depends on the circumstances of the transfer. Some transfers between spouses qualify for exemptions under provincial rules, while others do not. Your lawyer will review your situation and confirm whether tax is payable before anything is registered.

  • Q3. Can I transfer property to a family member tax free in Canada?

    Some family transfers are exempt from Ontario land transfer tax, but exemptions depend on the relationship and the specifics of the transfer. There may also be income tax considerations. Speak with your lawyer and accountant before registering anything.

  • Q4. What documents are needed for a title transfer?

    You will need valid photo identification for all parties and details of any existing mortgage on the property. For separation related transfers, a signed separation agreement or court order is also required.
