Legal costs cover your lawyer's fees or, in Quebec, your notary's fees. These may include:

• Reviewing the terms of the offer
• Conducting a title search on the property
• Registering a new title
• Obtaining relevant documents, such as surveys and evidence of liens on the property
• Checking the statement of adjustments for taxes, utility and fuel bills, and other costs that have been pre-paid by the seller at the date of closing
