The first hour, and everything after

Press start, and here's what you'll notice.

The intake takes about ten minutes from your phone or laptop. A lawyer reviews it during office hours and your flat fee, with standard disbursements included, is confirmed in writing before any work begins. Our office then confirms acceptance and the next steps.

Our office coordinates the title search, document preparation, signing and funds for your file. We confirm the next steps and any information still needed. Call us when a question or deadline needs attention.

Remote signing is guaranteed for your Alberta closing. We arrange your video appointment, required identity checks and any paper-original delivery and return. Completion and release of keys depend on the required documents, funds and arrangements with the other parties. The full picture is on how it works.

Grande Prairie situations

The files where this approach shines.

Different transactions, same pattern: the closing bends to the life, not the reverse.

Rotation and shift schedules

When your weeks run on a rotation, a fixed weekday office slot is the worst possible format. The video signing books around your days off — and if work has you away, the courier and the meeting follow you there.

Growing families

The signing happens at your own table, on an evening that works — no babysitter sourced for a daytime appointment, no toddler negotiating a boardroom. The meeting fits the household instead of disrupting it.

Sellers closing from somewhere else

If you have sold in Grande Prairie and already moved, tell us where you will be. Your lawyer confirms the available signing and document-delivery arrangements.

Refinances on the home you're in

A new mortgage or a lender switch runs remotely end to end, with the same lawyer-on-every-file structure and the same written flat fee before anything starts. No day off required.

One more quiet benefit: in an Alberta winter, this is one highway trip that never has to happen. The same closing runs province-wide — see Fort McMurray or Edmonton.

The fee, stated plainly

A written legal fee with included services identified. Signing arrangements are confirmed for your file. Confirmed in writing before any work begins. The free calculator shows your itemized estimate in about a minute — no email required — and the structure behind the number is on pricing.

For your budget math: Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax. What you pay instead is the Alberta Land Titles registration levy of $50 plus $5 per $5,000 of value, effective October 20, 2024 (source: alberta.ca, verified June 2026). Typical Alberta closings run four to eight weeks from agreement to possession; if your dates are tighter, call or text 780-473-7779 and we'll give you a straight answer during office hours.
