Areas of property law we cover

Our practice spans the full spectrum of real estate legal needs in Québec.

Residential purchases and sales

From offer review to notarial deed, we safeguard every step of your home transaction. We verify titles, coordinate with lenders, and ensure the property transfer is legally sound under Québec civil law.

Commercial real estate

We advise businesses on acquisitions, dispositions, and commercial leasing. Our team drafts and negotiates agreements that protect your investment and comply with municipal and provincial regulations.

Title examination and insurance

We perform comprehensive title searches through the Québec Land Register, identify liens, hypothecs, and servitudes, and arrange title insurance when appropriate to protect your ownership rights.

Landlord and tenant disputes

Whether you are a property owner facing non-payment or a tenant dealing with unsafe conditions, we represent clients before the Tribunal administratif du logement and in civil proceedings.

Boundary and easement issues

Land surveys, right-of-way negotiations, and encroachment claims require careful legal handling. We work alongside surveyors and municipal authorities to settle disputes efficiently.

Condominium and co-ownership law

We draft and review declarations of co-ownership, advise syndicates on governance matters, and represent unit owners in disputes over common areas, special assessments, and by-law enforcement.

Grounded in Québec civil law tradition

Our firm was established with a singular focus: making property law accessible and straightforward for individuals and businesses across the Québec region. We understand that real estate decisions are among the most significant financial commitments people make, and we treat every file with the seriousness it deserves.

Unlike general-practice firms that handle property matters on the side, our entire team is dedicated to real estate and land-use law. This specialization means we stay current on legislative changes, registry procedures, and municipal planning trends that directly affect our clients.

We pride ourselves on plain-language communication. Legal jargon can obscure important details, so we explain every clause, every risk, and every option in terms you can act on with confidence. From first-time buyers to seasoned developers, our clients appreciate knowing exactly where they stand.

Frequently asked questions

What does a property lawyer do during a home purchase?
We review the offer to purchase, verify the seller's title through the Québec Land Register, examine any existing hypothecs or servitudes, coordinate with your mortgage lender, prepare or review the notarial deed of sale, and ensure proper registration of your ownership rights. We also flag potential issues such as unpaid municipal taxes or undisclosed encumbrances before you commit.
How long does a typical residential transaction take?
Most residential closings in Québec take between 30 and 60 days from the accepted offer. The timeline depends on financing conditions, inspection results, and the complexity of the title search. We work to keep things on schedule and communicate any delays as soon as they arise.
Do I need a lawyer for a boundary dispute, or can I handle it myself?
While you can attempt to negotiate directly with your neighbour, boundary disputes often involve technical survey data, historical title records, and Civil Code provisions that require professional interpretation. A property lawyer can assess whether you have a strong legal position, recommend a surveyor if needed, and represent you in mediation or court if the dispute cannot be resolved amicably.
What are the costs involved in hiring a property lawyer?
Fees vary depending on the nature and complexity of the matter. For standard residential transactions, we offer fixed-fee packages that include title searches, document preparation, and closing attendance. For disputes or commercial matters, we provide a detailed estimate after the initial consultation. There are no hidden charges — our engagement letter sets out every cost before work begins.
Can you help with property issues outside the Québec City area?
Yes. While our office is located in Québec City, we handle property law matters across the province of Quebec. Many aspects of our work — title searches, document review, and negotiations — can be conducted remotely. For matters that require in-person attendance, we arrange travel or coordinate with local counsel as needed.
