Alpine Legal Services is the real estate lawyer and notary team Fraser Valley clients rely on for buying, selling, refinancing and transferring property in British Columbia. Our lawyers and notaries public handle the legal side of every transaction, from contract review and title searches to preparing documents, handling funds through our trust account and registering everything at the BC Land Title Office. We work from our head office in Chilliwack and satellite offices in Abbotsford, Langley and Surrey.

Buying a home in the Fraser Valley? Our real estate lawyers review your Contract of Purchase and Sale, run the title search, prepare your Statement of Adjustments, coordinate with your lender and realtor and register your ownership at the BC Land Title Office.

Selling your home? Our team orders your mortgage payout, prepares the transfer, coordinates the closing with the buyer's lawyer or notary and pays out your sale proceeds through our trust account once the sale completes.

Refinancing, switching lenders or financing a purchase? We review lender instructions, pay out and discharge the old mortgage and register the new one so your funds arrive on time.

Lenders often require independent legal advice for co-signers, guarantors and spouses. Our lawyers explain the mortgage or guarantee you are signing and what it means for you before you commit.

Adding a spouse, transferring a home to family or taking a name off title? We prepare the Form A transfer, work out property transfer tax and exemptions and register the change at the Land Title Office.
When you work with a real estate lawyer at Alpine Legal Services, conveyancing is transparent and organized, with no guesswork about what happens next. Our team takes your file from the first inquiry through signing and registration at the Land Title Office, and keeps you updated along the way.
Share your accepted offer, refinance or transfer details. We reply with our detailed pricing guide and the contact details your realtor and mortgage broker need to send us your file.
Our conveyancing team sends a short set of intake questions, opens your file and starts on the title search, contract review and lender instructions.
We go through your documents and numbers with you, then you sign in our office, by video where it is allowed, or we come to you. Mobile signings are available for a fee.
Real estate files raise a lot of questions, especially if you do not buy or sell often. These are the ones our lawyers and notaries public hear most about conveyancing, mortgages and property transfers across the Fraser Valley. If yours is not here, give our office a call.
A real estate lawyer or notary public makes sure your purchase, sale, refinance or transfer is completed legally and correctly. We review title, prepare and register documents with the BC Land Title Office and move funds through a regulated trust account. We also coordinate with your realtor and lender to head off delays, costly mistakes and fraud.
Buying or selling a property is a big financial commitment, so we keep our fees transparent. Our pricing guide breaks our costs down line by line. These are base fees, and quotes range significantly depending on the file.
Every purchase, sale and refinance is different, and some need extra documents or work, such as a strata property or a property on leasehold land. We discuss any additional fees with you upfront so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our guide to real estate lawyer costs in BC explains what affects the price.
Yes. Leasehold properties, including homes on First Nations land, are common in the Fraser Valley, especially around Chilliwack. Our lawyers handle leasehold purchases and sales and explain how the lease, rent and approvals affect you before you commit.
We handle the legal side of your transaction, including:
Our guide to the role of a real estate lawyer walks through it in more detail.
Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted on a purchase or sale, or as soon as you know you are refinancing or transferring property. Bringing us in early helps avoid delays and surprises. Here is how the BC closing process works.
Choosing a lawyer is your decision. Your realtor or mortgage broker may suggest a few lawyers or notaries, and it is worth asking how they differ. Referrals are sometimes based on a personal relationship or on who seems cheapest, rather than on what matters most, which is the client experience, knowledge, transparency, responsiveness and reputation.
Not every document can be signed electronically. Land title and mortgage documents generally need original wet-ink signatures.
There can be exceptions for clients living outside British Columbia who are dealing with a BC property, where we may be able to sign by video conference. If you live outside BC and prefer not to sign by video, we can arrange for a lawyer or notary near you to act as our agent and sign with you in person.
Let us know your situation upfront and we will make the process as convenient as we can.
We can only prepare documents for property transactions in British Columbia. If you are moving to Alberta, for example, a lawyer there can prepare your purchase documents and send them to us to sign with you locally. That lawyer gives you the legal advice on the Alberta purchase and we act as their signing agent. We can also forward your sale proceeds from your BC closing. The same works in reverse if you are moving to BC from another province.
Alpine Legal Services pairs careful conveyancing with a team that actually picks up the phone. Our real estate lawyers and notaries public make purchases, sales, refinances and title transfers feel manageable, and we explain each step in plain language.
We know the Fraser Valley market, BC property transfer tax rules and Land Title Office requirements well, from choosing a notary or lawyer to closing day. Clients get the personal attention of a local firm with transparent, upfront pricing.
