Property Ownership Mortgage Changes

Summary

Changing property ownership under a mortgage in Canada, including Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec, requires lender consent, refinancing, and legal documentation. Both parties in joint tenancy are typically responsible for the mortgage. To change this, the mortgage may need to be refinanced in one partys name, and legal agreements must be made to alter the property title. Research topics include property and mortgage law, joint tenancy, and refinancing. For further information, consult government websites, legal aid societies, and the Canadian Bar Association.
