⚖When a marriage ends, the family home often becomes the most contested decision.
Here's what most people don't know before they choose their path:
Option 1 — Sell: Cleanest resolution. Net proceeds are divided based on legal ownership.
Option 2 — Buy out: One spouse stays. Requires a formal property valuation and legal title transfer. The departing spouse's name comes off the title — and this must be documented.
Option 3 — Continue co-owning: Only works with a formal written agreement. Without one, disputes are almost certain — and courts take years to resolve them.
There is no 'we agreed' without paperwork. In Alberta, verbal agreements about property carry no legal weight.
Legal EDGE bridges family law and real estate law so your decision is protected — whatever it is.
