Reverse Mortgage Lawyer Serving Brampton & the Greater Toronto Area

Welcome to Perera Law, your trusted real estate lawyer in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Caledon, Georgetown, Milton, Orangeville, and Barrie. We provide clear, reliable legal guidance for homeowners exploring reverse mortgages. If you’re 55 or older, a reverse mortgage allows you to access up to 55% of your home’s value without monthly payments, while continuing to live in your home.

At Perera Law, we ensure you fully understand the terms, risks, and benefits of a reverse mortgage. Our goal is to protect your interests, explain the long-term financial impact, and give you the confidence to move forward with clarity.

Why Independent Legal Advice Matters

Ontario law requires homeowners to receive Independent Legal Advice (ILA) before finalizing a reverse mortgage. This ensures you understand the terms of the loan, repayment triggers, and the effect on your estate. At Perera Law, we guide you through this process and act solely in your best interest.

Considering Other Mortgage Options?

Common Questions: View all FAQ

Q1. What is the downside to a reverse mortgage in Canada?
The main tradeoff is cost: interest compounds on the growing balance, so the amount owed increases over time and reduces the equity left in the home. There are also setup fees, and the loan becomes repayable when you sell, move, or pass away. A lawyer can walk through the terms with you before you commit.
Q2. How does a reverse mortgage work in Ontario?
Homeowners aged 55 and older can borrow against their home equity with no regular monthly payments required. The loan, plus accumulated interest, is generally repaid when the home is sold or the homeowner moves out. Lenders require independent legal advice before finalizing, which is where we come in.
Q3. What is a better option than a reverse mortgage?
It depends on your goals. Some homeowners consider refinancing, a home equity line of credit, or downsizing instead. Each option has different costs and tradeoffs. Speaking with a lawyer and a financial adviser can help you compare them before deciding.
Q4. Why do I need a lawyer for a reverse mortgage?
Lenders typically require borrowers to receive independent legal advice before finalizing a reverse mortgage. A lawyer reviews the mortgage documents with you, explains the terms in plain language, and confirms you understand your obligations.
