Contract and Lease Reviews

Real estate contracts set out the rights, obligations, and timelines that govern your transaction. A careful legal review of the agreement is essential to ensure that key terms, such as conditions, remedies, and closing obligations, are properly understood and protect your interests. At Summit Point Law, we review real estate contracts with attention to detail, identify potential risks, and explain the practical and legal implications before you proceed.

As the transaction moves toward closing, we manage the legal and administrative steps required to complete the deal. This includes coordinating with lenders, real estate agents, and the other party’s lawyer, preparing and reviewing closing documents, managing trust funds, and ensuring all registrations at Land Titles are completed.

Selling a Property

Selling a property is more than just signing an agreement. It is a legal transaction with real financial and legal consequences. At Summit Point Law, we guide sellers through every stage of the real estate sale process, ensuring the transaction closes smoothly, on time, and with no surprises. Whether you are selling a family home, condominium, rental property, or investment asset, our role is to protect your interests and handle the legal details so you can focus on your next move.

Purchasing a Property

Buying a property is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. Whether you are purchasing your first home, a condominium, or an investment property, the legal details matter. Property purchases can involve hidden legal issues, including title defects, unpaid taxes, condominium obligations, or lender requirements. At Summit Point Law, we guide buyers through the legal transfer process with clarity, precision, and practical advice, so you can move forward with confidence.

Mortgage Refinancing

Mortgage refinancing can be a powerful financial tool whether you are looking to access equity, secure a better interest rate, or restructure your finances. At Summit Point Law, we understand that refinancing is often time-sensitive. Our approach emphasizes efficiency, accuracy, and clear communication.

Title Transfers

A title transfer is the legal process of changing ownership of real property. Whether ownership is being transferred between family members, as part of an estate, following a separation, or due to a corporate or business restructuring, it is important that the transfer is completed correctly and registered properly. At Summit Point Law, we provide reliable legal guidance to ensure title transfers are handled efficiently and in compliance with Alberta land title requirements.

Condominium Transactions

Condominium transactions involve additional legal considerations beyond a standard property purchase or sale. Condominium documents, bylaws, financial statements, and board governance can all significantly affect your rights and obligations as an owner. At Summit Point Law, we provide clear and practical legal guidance for condominium purchases, sales, refinances, and title transfers helping clients understand what they are buying or selling and protecting their interests throughout the process.
