No "call for pricing." Here is the fee, what it includes, and what the government charges on top — with a calculator that itemizes your exact numbers. No email required.
Standard disbursements — title searches, registration handling, photocopying, courier — are already inside the flat fee. Remote signing anywhere in Alberta is included. Government and third-party charges (Land Titles registration, tax certificate search) are itemized in the calculator below. Some files carry extras — condo, rental, bridge financing, tight timelines — and we confirm those at quote stage, in writing, before any work begins.
Every line shown instantly — lawyer's fee, GST, Land Titles registration, tax certificate. No email required to see your figures.
Calculator figures are estimates for planning purposes and are not a binding quote or a solicitor–client agreement. Final costs vary with property type, mortgage payouts, title particulars, and third-party charges. A member of our team will confirm your exact fee in writing before any work begins. Closings are handled by a licensed Alberta real estate lawyer at Giardino Law, member of the Law Society of Alberta.
Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax. The government's share is the Land Titles registration levy: $50 plus $5 per $5,000 of value — the same formula for the transfer and the mortgage registration (source: alberta.ca, verified June 2026).
Short answers below; the pricing page covers what's included in more depth.
Our flat legal fee is $1,100 for a purchase or a sale and $950 for a refinance, plus GST — standard disbursements included. Government and third-party charges are itemized separately because they apply on every Alberta closing regardless of lawyer. Your exact figure is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Amounts paid to third parties, not to us: Land Titles registration ($50 + $5 per $5,000 of value, for the transfer and any mortgage), the tax certificate and corporate search, prorated property tax and condo fee adjustments, title insurance when used, and GST on new builds. The calculator above itemizes them for your numbers.

No. Remote signing is included at no extra charge for every transaction, anywhere in Alberta — the video meeting, the lawyer's walkthrough of each document, and the courier for paper originals both ways are all inside the flat fee.
A few files carry extras: condo transactions (+$275 per condo plus $100 per extra parking stall), rental properties (+$100), bridge financing (+$250), tight timelines, or unusual title situations. When your file is one of those, we say so at quote stage and confirm the adjusted flat fee in writing — never as a surprise at the closing table.
