The firm
A real estate practice,
run with care.
Spectre Law does one thing: real estate. Our lawyers run every type of file, from a first condo in Seton to a CMHC-insured apartment portfolio, and they treat a closing as what it really is, a large financial transaction that deserves attention to detail.
Every file is handled by one of our lawyers, someone you can actually reach. Standard residential work gets a flat quote before we start, and larger files get a clear scope so you know the economics on day one. Because Alberta runs a single Land Titles system, our lawyers close for clients across the whole province from our Calgary office.
Our lawyers know the market
Rates, lender appetite, and where values are moving. Good advice starts with understanding the deal you are actually doing.
Our lawyers check everything
Title, surveys, condo documents, leases. We look closely, then tell you what matters in plain language.
Our lawyers write it properly
Contracts, conditions, and security prepared carefully the first time, so nothing is left open to argument later.
Our lawyers close on time
Funds, registration, and keys on the day the contract says. We handle the moving parts so possession day is uneventful.

Common questions
Common questions, straight answers.
These are the questions clients ask most before opening a file, answered the same way our lawyers answer them on the phone.
Your lawyer reviews the contract, searches the title, prepares the mortgage documents, builds the Statement of Adjustments, moves the money through trust, and registers the transfer at Alberta Land Titles. In Alberta the closing documents have to go through a lawyer, and lenders send their instructions to lawyers directly.
No. Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax. You pay registration fees at Land Titles based on the property value and the mortgage amount, and they are small compared to the transfer taxes in B.C. or Ontario. We set out the exact numbers on your Statement of Adjustments before you sign.
Most residential files take two to six weeks from a firm deal to possession. Refinances usually fund within five to ten business days of lender instructions. We regularly close inside seven days when the timeline is tight, so call us as soon as your offer goes firm.
An RPR is a surveyor’s drawing of the lot that shows every structure on it. Standard Alberta contracts require the seller to provide one with evidence of municipal compliance. Old surveys, unpermitted additions, and encroachments are the most common closing headaches in the province, and almost all of them can be fixed if they are caught during the condition period.
Yes. Alberta runs a single Land Titles system, so we close files everywhere in the province from our Calgary office. That includes Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Grande Prairie. Documents move electronically, and signing happens by video where permitted or with a local commissioner near you.
Yes. Alongside residential closings we act on apartment building purchases, CMHC-insured financing including MLI Select, and commercial deals. The same lawyers run every file, which is a big part of why the large ones close on schedule.
