Do I Really Need a Lawyer?

Your home will likely be the single most expensive purchase you ever make, so it makes sense to protect your interests by using a lawyer to handle the paperwork. Only a trained and qualified BC lawyer can provide you with the legal information and guidance to advise you on a property transaction in BC. While a BC notary public is trained to draw up the documents involved, they have no formal legal training and are not licensed to practice law. Most issues and problems that arise in a real estate transaction can be solved relatively quickly and without great cost, if both parties are aware of their legal rights and responsibilities. Without proper and timely legal advice, small problems can become very big and expensive later on.
