Country Lawyer (Brad Comeau)

About Country Lawyer (Brad Comeau)

Country Lawyer is the practice of Brad Comeau, a real estate lawyer in Stirling, Ontario. Comeau has practiced law in Ontario for more than 30 years, the last 20 or more of them based in Stirling, according to the firm's own site. The practice focuses on real estate transactions involving rural and country property, along with wills and powers of attorney.

The firm's site walks clients through buying and selling country property, including a land transfer tax calculator and a page on financial costs, and flags issues specific to rural land, like checking with the local Conservation Authority before buying waterfront property. On the wills and powers of attorney side, it stresses naming an executor, referred to on the site as an Estate Trustee, and appointing someone to act as attorney under a power of attorney, and suggests reviewing these documents every few years or after a major life change. Comeau doesn't handle litigation directly, but refers clients elsewhere when a dispute needs to go to court.
