REFINANCINGS AND MORTGAGES
We are able to assist you if you are obtaining financing for a residential or commercial purpose, if you are refinancing an existing mortgage or if you are putting a new mortgage on a property you already own. We offer professional service at reasonable rates. We act for all major financial institutions, trust companies, credit unions, private lenders and borrowers.
TRANSFERS OF TITLE
Our office can assist you if you are adding someone to the title or if you wish to remove someone from the title.
Transfers of titles occur in a variety of circumstances. You may wish to add someone to the title for estate planning purposes or because you are refinancing the property. If there is a matrimonial or common law separation, you may wish to remove one spouse from the title. If one or more individuals holds title jointly with another individual who is deceased, you will need to transfer title to the surviving joint owner(s). This transfer which is called a Survivorship Application must occur prior to any resale of the property.
POWER OF ATTORNEYS
If you know that you will need a Power of Attorney for a real estate transaction but do not yet have one prepared, our office can draft the Power of Attorney, for an additional fee. Please contact us to discuss.
