The majority of real property transactions are completed without any problems, but every now and then even a so-called “simple real estate transaction” can go sideways. What do you do if the certified cheque to close the deal is misplaced? How do you fix problems with a right of way conversion? What safe guards should you have in place when accepting a power of attorney? This program will explore these and other unusual issues and challenges that can keep you awake at night and willdiscuss solutions to those problems.
