Changes in Ownership

When a property changes ownership we receive notices from MPAC and/or from the solicitor involved in the sale. Quite often we do not receive these notices from MPAC until a number of months have passed. This can be quite frustrating when a tax or arrears notice has been sent to a previous owner or contains the name of a departed member of your family. If this happens to you please notify the office and we will attempt to get the information we need to make the change. A change cannot be made to the ownership until the estate has been settled and then we like to make the change as soon as possible. Please contact us or your solicitor if this is of concern to you.

If you have recently purchased a property your lawyer should have advised you of any taxes owing on the property. If they have not given you this information please contact the office. As the new owner you are responsible for any amount owing on the property. Your statement of adjustments would have made allowances for liabilities of the new owner or purchaser.
