Why Orangeville Owners Choose Perera Law for Title Changes

  • Adding a spouse to title: We structure spousal additions as joint tenancy or tenancy in common, protecting survivorship rights and reflecting your estate plans.
  • Family gifting and transfers: We document transfers between parents and children or among relatives, keeping the paper trail clean for future sales or refinancing.
  • Removing a former partner or co-signer: Following a separation, buyout, or mortgage refinance, we update the deed so the title matches the current arrangement.
  • Transfers into corporations: Property investors receive properly drafted transfers and supporting corporate records when moving Orangeville holdings into a company.
  • Tax and exemption analysis: We determine whether provincial land transfer tax applies to your transfer and claim spousal or family exemptions where available.

Key Documents We Prepare for Title Transfers

  • Transfer and deed of land: The registered instrument effecting the ownership change, drafted to your exact instructions.
  • Land transfer affidavit of consideration: The sworn filing that establishes the value on which any tax is calculated.
  • Spousal and family law consents: Documentation confirming required consents are in place before title is altered.
  • Current title search: A fresh look at the registry record to confirm the starting point for your transfer.
  • Corporate authorizations: Resolutions and supporting documents for transfers involving a corporation.

Common Questions: View all FAQ

  • Q1. How do I transfer my Orangeville 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.
