Refinancing Legal Services
Helping You Navigate Mortgage Refinancing with Confidence.
Refinance Your Home with Legal Help
Refinancing your home can be a smart financial move—but it’s also a legal process that requires careful handling. Whether you’re switching lenders, locking in a better rate, or accessing home equity, it’s important to get the legal details right.
At Mather & Company, we help homeowners in Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland, and across the Comox Valley and surrounding areas with the refinancing process and complete all the necessary legal steps. Our job is to make sure everything is accurate, on time, and in your best interest.
Why You Need a Lawyer for Refinancing
When you refinance your mortgage, you’re essentially replacing your current loan with a new one. That means new legal documents, new terms, and often a new lender. Having a lawyer involved in your real estate transactions ensures:
- Your new mortgage is registered properly
- Your lender’s instructions are followed
- Funds are disbursed correctly
- Any previous mortgage is discharged
- All paperwork is accurate and complete
Even though refinancing might feel simpler than buying a home, the legal side still matters. We help you avoid delays, errors, and unexpected problems.
What We Do During a Refinance
Refinancing involves several legal steps—and we guide you through each one. Here’s how we help:
Reviewing Mortgage Instructions
We receive the lender’s instructions and review them to make sure everything is clear and correct. If something doesn’t look right, we flag it and work with the lender to resolve it.
Preparing Legal Mortgage Documents
We draft the mortgage and any related documents, making sure they meet legal requirements and match your lender’s expectations. You’ll review and sign everything with our help and explanation.
Coordinating the Discharge of Your Current Mortgage
If you already have a mortgage registered on the title, we work with your previous lender to have it officially discharged. We handle the communication and make sure the timeline lines up with your refinancing date.
Registering the New Mortgage
Once everything is ready, we file the new mortgage with the Land Title Office to officially register it on your property. This step ensures your lender has the correct legal interest in your home.
Transferring and Disbursing Funds
We manage the financial side of the refinance, including receiving and disbursing funds as directed by your lender. This could include paying out your old mortgage, settling debts, or transferring equity to you.
Providing Final Documentation
After everything is complete, we give you a full legal report and copies of all key documents for your records.
Refinancing to Access Equity? We’ll Help You Understand the Process
If you’re refinancing to take equity out of your home, we’ll walk you through what to expect and make sure all documents reflect the purpose of your refinance. We also help with any additional steps, like payouts to creditors or placing funds in trust.
We’re here to make sure your equity is accessed properly, safely, and with no surprises.
