Generally, yes. In Ontario the matrimonial home has special protection, one spouse usually can't sell or mortgage it without the other's consent, even if only one name is on title. If you can't agree, a court can order a sale. We work discreetly with both parties; confirm your rights with your family lawyer.

After the mortgage and selling costs are paid, the remaining equity is usually divided as part of your overall property settlement, often equally for a matrimonial home, though it depends on your circumstances. Your lawyers direct how the funds are held or divided at closing. We pay a fair, firm price so there's more to split.

Yes. Many couples sell the home during separation, well before the divorce is final, to divide assets and move on. As long as both spouses, or a court order, consent, closing can proceed. Proceeds are often held in trust pending settlement. Your family lawyer can advise on timing and how funds are held.

If one spouse refuses, the other can ask the court for an order for sale, sometimes called a partition-and-sale application, to have the property sold and the equity divided. It's worth getting legal advice first. Once there's agreement or a court order, we can move quickly with a firm, all-cash offer.

Yes, that's common, one spouse refinances to pay the other their share of the equity and keeps the home. If a buyout isn't affordable or neither wants to keep it, selling to us is a clean way to split the value fast. We can close in as little as 7 days. Your lawyer confirms the figures.

Whoever is on the mortgage stays legally responsible to the lender until it's paid off at closing, regardless of who lives there. Couples often share the carrying costs during separation, but this is usually settled in your agreement. Selling promptly reduces how long you both carry the home. Confirm the details with your lawyer.

Usually not on a principal residence, which is generally exempt. Capital gains more often apply to a rental, cottage, or second property being divided. Transfers between spouses can also have their own tax rules. We can structure flexible deals to ease timing, always confirm the tax details with your accountant.

Often the other spouse still must consent if it's the matrimonial home, because Ontario law gives both spouses a right of possession regardless of whose name is on title. For other properties, the registered owner can usually sell. It's best to confirm with your family lawyer before signing, then we can close quickly.

We work discreetly and directly, with no open houses and no public listing drawing attention during an already difficult time. We deal fairly with both spouses and their lawyers, present one clear offer, and let the legal team direct how proceeds are held. Call or text 647-495-4260 to start privately.
