Toronto Real Estate Lawyers Providing Title Examinations

A title examination is one of the most important aspects of any real estate transaction. Whenever property changes hands, the buyer must confirm that the seller is the sole owner of the property and that there are no encumbrances or title defects that may result in complications or invalidate the title.

At Baker & Company, our highly experienced Toronto title examination lawyers have more than 30 years of collective experience advising both buyers and sellers on commercial and residential real estate transactions.  We are both everyday trusted advisors and problem solvers. As advisors, we provide proactive guidance and advice intended to address matters before they escalate into major issues. As problem solvers, we respond quickly and efficiently where a serious concern presents itself and where legal intervention is required.

Title Examinations in Ontario 

A title examination essentially provides a complete history of a property. It is a thorough inspection of all public records that pertain to the property a buyer is purchasing, including municipal and other records.

This inspection will review the chain of title to ensure it was validly passed to each new owner of the property and will determine whether the title has any defects in its history that may adversely affect the title. Potential problems can include unpaid taxes, unresolved construction or other liens, or boundary disputes.

Title searches and examinations are complicated and highly technical. They require guidance from knowledgeable experts with significant experience performing such tasks.
