REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES AND DEED OF SALE AGREEMENTS:
In the real estate realm of law in the province of Quebec, real estate is divided between notaries and lawyers.
The drafting and registration of immovable residential and commercial properties falls within the scope of a notary.
However, it is quite common that a lawyer is called upon to review and comment on an offer to purchase, promise to purchase or purchase agreement when a property is being sold.
In fact, lawyers can be instrumental is ensuring that a client’s position is well protected and can even be present at the notary’s offices for the signing of the deed of sale.
On other occasions, the buyer or the seller decides not to proceed with a deed of sale at the notary’s offices despite a promise to purchase duly signed between the buyer and the seller.
If such is the case, there is recourse to the courts for “passing of title.”
Consequently, if the buyer or the seller is dissatisfied due to the absence of a transfer of the property, a law firm has the capacity to force the sale of the property through a motion called “Passing of title” before the courts.
