Ontario Real Estate Legal Requirements
For most Ontarians buying or selling a home is the largest single financial transaction of their lives. In Ontario, lawyers are a necessary part of the real estate transaction process as the law requires both Buyer and Seller to have their own lawyers.
Based in Thunder Bay, the Ruberto Sheikh LLP legal team understands that property transactions represent significant financial and legal commitments. We provide legal expertise to guide clients through Ontario’s complex real estate regulations, ensuring every transaction is handled with precision and care. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or managing sophisticated commercial acquisitions, we’re committed to protecting your interests throughout the entire process.
Real Estate Transaction Services
Every real estate transaction in Ontario follows a structured process to ensure a successful closing. We begin by reviewing your purchase agreement to identify any concerning terms or conditions. Next, we conduct detailed title searches through Ontario’s land registry system to verify ownership and uncover any potential issues. Throughout the transaction, we coordinate with lenders, real estate agents, and other professionals to ensure all deadlines are met and documentation is completed on time. Our systematic approach keeps your transaction moving smoothly toward closing day.

Why do you need a real estate lawyer when you already have an agent? While real estate agents facilitate the sale, lawyers provide the legal foundation that makes it binding and secure. We handle the critical legal work that protects your investment – drafting legally sound contracts, ensuring proper title transfer, and managing regulatory compliance. Our role is to identify legal risks your agent cannot, review complex contract terms, and establish your property rights correctly. This legal oversight prevents costly mistakes and gives you confidence in your investment.
