How you can save $$ by NOT using a Lawyer!
Suppose you and your spouse hold a property as joint tenants and you want to transfer the property into either your or your spouses name alone (or the opposite). You would go to a lawyer, right? Well, you could if you weren’t too fond of saving money! Most people don’t know that this is a simple registration and you don’t have to see a lawyer to complete this task. A lawyer’s charge for something of this nature would be in the $500.00 range. Paralegal / Title Searcher such as myself…less than half of that!
Let’s say you need to search the title to your land or any other land in the Province of Ontario. Lawyer? No, Paralegal! This is a simple process for a licensed title searcher such as myself and all title information is guaranteed accurate by the Government of Ontario. See my post Title Searching in Ontario, Canada 101.
Are you interested in investigating your spouse to know what other properties might he/she have an interest in? This too can be done for much less than a lawyer or private investigator.
Let’s say you want to incorporate your company, but you don’t know where to start? You might go to a lawyer, right? A lawyer would charge you close to $1,000.00 CDN to complete this task. A paralegal / title searcher, less than half of that.
Let’s say you’re a contractor and you haven’t been paid by the owner of the property you are doing work on. You would go to a lawyer to put a construction lien on title, right? Once again, this is a simple task that a paralegal / title searcher such as myself can do for you for less than half the cost of a lawyer.
How about private mortgages? If you are a private lender, you don’t have to go through a lawyer to register a mortgage on a proptery to protect your interest. This too is a simple registration. Paralegal / Titlesearcher ! Savings?…Hundreds!
What about Small Claims? Say you want to sue somebody who has done you wrong. If your claim is under $10,000.00 CDN, you can use a paralegal to guide you through the Small Claims process! Savings?…again…Hundreds.
