Wannes Law Professional Corporation

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer for a real estate closing in Toronto?

Wannes Law explains that a real estate lawyer reviews the purchase agreement, checks for title defects, and registers the property and mortgage with the Land Registry Office, so having one involved protects you at each stage of a purchase, sale, or refinance.

What happens during a status certificate review for a condo purchase?

The firm checks that the units, lockers, and storage listed match the agreement of purchase and flags issues that could raise your maintenance fees. The review is complimentary if Wannes Law handles your purchase, and available on its own for a flat fee otherwise.

If Wannes Law drafts my will, do I also get powers of attorney?

Yes. When you have the firm prepare a will, both a Power of Attorney for Personal Care and a Power of Attorney for Property are included at no extra charge as part of the same estate planning file.

Can Wannes Law help me sponsor a family member to immigrate to Canada?

The firm handles spousal and family sponsorship applications, permanent residency applications for parents and grandparents, and Group of Five applications, in addition to work permits, study permits, and citizenship applications.

I'm starting a business in Toronto, can Wannes Law incorporate it?

Yes. The firm provides Ontario and federal incorporation, professional corporation setup for regulated professionals, share structure and minute book preparation, and shareholder or partnership agreement drafting.

Does Wannes Law handle landlord and tenant disputes?

Yes. The firm represents both landlords and tenants in disputes over lease violations, rent arrears, evictions, and maintenance issues, working within Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act framework.
