4 -- PORT PERRY STAR REAL ESTATE -- Tuesday, February 20, 1990 Seek legal advice before bu (From page 1) Searching title is the first priority. This must be checked to see if the seller owns the house or whether anyone has filed a claim or debt on the property you want to buy, and for which you might be liable. The results of the search should demonstrate that the house is located within lot lines. In addition, the building must comply with local zoning by-laws. No eaves, fences or buildings belonging to so- meone else should overlap onto the land you are buying. You will want to decide in whose name the title will be registered. Your decision may affect your estate. The two most common methods of multiple owner- ship are "tenancy in com- mon" and "joint tenancy." The difference between "joint tenancy" and "tenan- tenancy has the right of sur- vivorship. This means that if one spouse dies the other automatically becomes en- titled to the entire property. "Tenancy in common" is when a spouse dies, the un- dividied one-half interest of that spouse passes to the spouse's heirs in accor- dance with their will. Their will may or may not include the other spouse. If you're purchasing a condominium, remember to read the fine print in the condominium corporation's by-laws. There may be restrictions which will pro- hibit certain activities. These restrictions may not be suitable to your situation and needs. Before the real estate transaction is completed, the vendor may be required to discharge a pre-existing mortgage. In that case, the purchaser can insist on the mortgage being released on or before closing. Your lawyer will then receive a 'Statement of Ad- justments" from the ven- dor's lawyer which is a record of accounting bet- ween you and the vendor. These usually include deposit, sale price, and taxes remaining for the year. Also checked are the right of creditors over such things as furniture, fix- tures, stoves, (chattels) that are included in the pur- ying a new home chase price and warranties concerning such things as swimming pools and insulation. The professional services of a well-trained lawyer can assist you from the start of your real estate transaction to final registration. It's most important to find a lawyer you trust and feel comfortable with.
