Whether you are purchasing your first home in Vieux-Québec or negotiating a multi-unit commercial lease, our attorneys ensure every clause, title and registration is airtight — so the keys you receive come with genuine peace of mind.
Protect your next property moveWe begin every engagement with a 45-minute discovery call — free of charge. You walk us through the transaction, share existing documents and outline your goals. We identify potential risks, missing paperwork and jurisdictional nuances specific to Québec civil law before any commitment is made.
Our team conducts a thorough title search at the Registre foncier du Québec, verifying ownership chains, existing hypothecs, servitudes and any municipal by-law restrictions. We cross-reference cadastral maps and zoning certificates to flag encumbrances that could affect your intended use of the property.
Purchase agreements, lease contracts, co-ownership declarations — we draft or review every document with precision. Where counterparties push unfavourable terms, we negotiate on your behalf, drawing on decades of familiarity with Québec real-estate customs and the Civil Code provisions that govern immovable property.
On closing day we coordinate fund transfers, verify identity documents, witness signatures and ensure the deed of sale is published at the Land Registry within the statutory period. You receive a certified copy of every registered instrument alongside a plain-language summary of your new obligations.
Our relationship does not end at the notarial act. We remain available for tax-related questions, future refinancing reviews and any neighbour or boundary disputes that may surface. Clients who return for subsequent transactions receive priority scheduling and reduced consultation fees.
From single-family homes to condominiums, we handle offer preparation, condition verification, notarial closings and post-sale registrations across the greater Québec City region. Our attorneys are fluent in both French and English documentation, ensuring nothing is lost in translation during bilingual transactions.
We draft and review commercial lease agreements, negotiate tenant improvement allowances and advise landlords on Régie du logement obligations. Whether you operate a boutique on Rue Saint-Jean or manage an industrial park in Beauport, we structure leases that balance flexibility with enforceable protections.
When a title defect surfaces — an unregistered servitude, a boundary discrepancy or a lapsed hypothec — we pursue corrective measures through voluntary registration or, when necessary, judicial proceedings. We also liaise with title insurers to secure policies that fill residual gaps in coverage.
Divided and undivided co-ownerships each carry distinct obligations under the Civil Code of Québec. We advise syndicates on declaration amendments, common-expense disputes, special assessments and annual meeting procedures, helping boards govern effectively while respecting unit-owner rights.
Encroachments, shared fences, right-of-way conflicts — these issues can escalate quickly without measured legal intervention. We pursue amicable resolution first, resorting to Superior Court applications only when negotiation stalls. Our surveyors-network ensures we build cases on accurate cadastral evidence.
Québec's legal hypothec of construction gives contractors, sub-contractors and material suppliers powerful security rights. We advise both builders and property owners on lien registration deadlines, prior-notice requirements and release strategies, minimising exposure on every side of the project.
