Flat Rate Real Estate Legal Fees

At Rask Law, our quoted price includes standard legal fees if the real estate transaction is signed in a single appointment in our Cochrane office.

Disbursements - Disbursements are costs that the law firms pay on their clients’ behalf, including all registrations with the Land Titles Office. Registrations are often the largest disbursements you will incur and are calculated based on the value of the home or the mortgage amount. Other typical disbursements include courier fees and general office expenses.

There are no additional charges for:

  • one hour of purchase and sale-related issue resolution
  • four payouts (refinance).  [Additional $50 per payout]
  • all payouts on a sale

Please note that additional fees will apply for multiple appointments, corporate purchases/sales, assignment of rents for rental properties, caveats, rush fees for last-minute transactions (ex, closings within 10 business days of receiving instructions), reviewing and/or drafting agreements. Please call for details.

Examples of other disbursements/fees that are not included:

  • updated or new real property report and stamp of compliance
