For many in Ontario, family cottages and ski chalets are a very important part of their lifestyle, even in the midst of fluctuating economic conditions. The purchase and sale of these types of properties involve distinct issues that real estate lawyers must thoroughly understand to properly assist their clients.
Whether you are new to boat houses, docks, septics and road access, or you have been dealing with them ‘forever’, this program will provide you with the tools you need to handle the difficult challenges that arise in recreational property transactions. You will benefit directly from the practical advice of our expert faculty and gain practical materials for assessing your clients’ options regarding property succession and when ‘first dealings’ is an option. You will also get professionalism guidance so you know when you can act for both parties, and how a “non-arms length relationship” is defined.
