Life events we handle

Whatever changed, the title should match.

Adding a spouse or partner.

Moving the home into joint names — with the joint-tenants vs. tenants-in-common decision explained, lender consent handled if there's a mortgage, and the transfer registered properly.

Separation or divorce.

Removing a name per your separation agreement or court order, usually coordinated with a refinance that takes the departing spouse off the mortgage too. One lawyer handles both.

Family & estate transfers.

Transfers between family members, into or out of an estate, or after a legal name change — with the dower, tax, and survivorship questions answered before anything is registered.

What it costs

Two numbers, both known before we start.

A title transfer has a legal fee and a government registration fee. Alberta Land Titles charges $50 plus $5 per $5,000 of property value on a transfer (source: alberta.ca, verified June 2026) — that part is the same no matter who you hire. Our legal fee is flat, quoted upfront, and confirmed in writing before any work begins. If a mortgage consent, discharge, or refinance is involved, we tell you at quote stage — never on the invoice. Our closing fees are published openly on the fees page — the same no-surprises posture applies to every transfer.

FAQ

Common questions about title transfers.

How do I add my spouse to my house title in Alberta?

A transfer of land is prepared and registered at Alberta Land Titles, moving the property into joint names. If there's a mortgage, your lender's consent is usually required first. We prepare the transfer, confirm how you'll hold title (joint tenants or tenants in common — the difference matters if one of you dies), obtain consents, and register the change. Remote signing is guaranteed. We arrange the identity checks and documents required for your signing.

How do I remove an ex-spouse from title after separation?

A transfer moves the property into the remaining owner's name, usually alongside a refinance that takes the departing spouse off the mortgage. The transfer typically flows from your separation agreement or court order. We coordinate the transfer, the new mortgage registration, and the Land Titles filing — with a flat fee confirmed in writing first.

What does a title transfer cost?

Two parts: Alberta Land Titles charges $50 plus $5 per $5,000 of property value; our legal fee is flat and confirmed in writing before any work begins. Call or text 780-473-7779 and we'll confirm the figure for your transfer, usually during office hours.

Do I need a lawyer for this?

Transfers interact with mortgages, dower rights, tax rules, and how title is held — mistakes surface years later, at sale, refinance, or in an estate. A lawyer gets the consent, the tenancy, and the registration right the first time. Given what the property is worth, it's inexpensive insurance.

Can the whole thing be done remotely?

Remote signing is guaranteed for your Alberta closing. We arrange your video appointment, required identity checks and any paper-original delivery and return.
