Private Deals, Family Deals, and What to Do When Closing is Delayed (On-Demand) About Faculty About While realtors are involved in the majority of real estate transactions in Alberta, sellers are increasingly seeking to reduce or eliminate real estate commissions on the sale of their properties.

As a result, conveyancing lawyers are increasingly asked to act on private deals and sales of real property between family members where there is no realtor involved. The first part of this on-demand program considers the challenges for lawyers that these deals may present. The second part explores strategies to employ when closing is delayed.
