We offer a full suite of real estate legal services, help you with residential or commercial transactions, including sales, purchases, and refinancing.

Legal Protection For Your Real Estate Deal

Whether you are buying or selling as an investor or a homeowner, you want to make sure the property changes hands without any legal surprises. You want to protect your investment and avoid headaches down the road. That's where we help. We make real estate transactions as stress-free as possible for you.

I will review the terms of the agreement of purchase and sale, and the terms of the mortgage, if any.

I will do a title search which includes searching for:

  • charges or other encumbrancers;

  • liens

  • easements

  • court judgments

  • covenants

This Land Transfer Tax calculator from the Ottawa Real Estate Board can help you estimate the  land transfer tax based on the purchase price.

About our Firm

Bernhard (Bernie) Dueck grew up on a farm near a small town in rural Manitoba. In 1982, he earned a B.A. (Honours) in Economics from the University of Manitoba, following by his LL.B. in 1986.

He moved to Ottawa in 1986, and was called to the bar of the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1988, and that same year started his own law practice.

In 30 years as a lawyer, Bernie has helped people through major transitions, which are sometimes the most stressful times of one's life. Many of those clients have returned over the years as their lives progressed and they required additional legal services.
