Perera Law is here to help with title changes or transferring ownership, so let’s work together.

Why Mississauga Property Owners Choose Perera Law for Title Transfers

  • Spousal and Matrimonial Title Additions: We add a spouse or partner to your title as joint tenants or tenants in common, making sure survivorship rights line up with your estate planning goals.
  • Family and Gift Transfers: We structure parent to child transfers and transfers between relatives to limit tax exposure and prevent future disputes over ownership.
  • Refinance Co-Signer Removals: After a refinance or mortgage payout, we remove former co-signers or guarantors from title and register the updated deed without delay.
  • Corporate and Holding Company Transfers: Investors moving Mississauga properties into holding companies receive precise legal drafting and clear guidance on the tax side of the transaction.
  • Land Transfer Tax and Exemption Advice: We assess whether Ontario land transfer tax applies to your specific transfer and claim every exemption you qualify for before registration.

Key Documents We Prepare and Review for Your Title Transfer

  • Transfer/Deed of Land: The core legal document conveying ownership. We prepare it carefully so the registered title matches your instructions to the letter.
  • Current Title Search: A new search verifying legal ownership and revealing any registered liens, writs or restrictions that must be addressed first.
  • Land Transfer Tax Statements: The required filings setting out the consideration for the transfer and documenting any exemptions claimed.
  • Spousal Consents and Corporate Authorizations: The additional consents, resolutions or declarations that validate your transfer under Ontario law.

Beyond Title Transfers: Our Comprehensive Real Estate Services

Alongside title transfers and ownership changes, Perera Law helps Mississauga clients with buying real estate, selling real estate, mortgage refinancing, private lending and notary public services.

Understanding Land Transfer Tax and Legal Fees in Mississauga

  • Ontario Provincial Land Transfer Tax: Depending on the consideration involved, your transfer may attract provincial land transfer tax. Mississauga properties do not face a municipal land transfer tax, which exists only in the City of Toronto.
  • Transparent Flat-Fee Pricing: Our fee is set and confirmed upfront, giving you full cost certainty before the work begins.
  • Standard Disbursements: Title search fees, government registration charges and courier costs are itemized separately and passed through at cost.

Common Questions: View all FAQ

  • Q1. How do I transfer my Mississauga 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.
