Transfers

Land and property transfers tend to be quite complex. It is often in your best interest to have a new survey conducted, research any transfer fees or obligations and understand how such real estate decisions can impact your tax liability. Transferring a parcel of land, home or commercial property comes with numerous issues that can influence your financial position.

Part of a successful mortgage negotiation and closing will be verifying that both you and the bank are on the same page and that the terms are realistic and manageable.
