Reverse Mortgage Independent Legal Advice in Southwestern Ontario: Common Questions
How much does reverse mortgage independent legal advice cost in Southwestern Ontario?
Ontario law firms quoted $550 to $1,200 plus HST for it in October 2026. Your own lawyer bills you directly, and the fee is usually paid from the mortgage money at closing, so little or nothing comes out of pocket. Ask the fee when you call.
Do I have to use a lawyer in Southwestern Ontario?
No. Any Ontario lawyer who does not act for your lender can give you independent legal advice, including your family's own lawyer. Most lenders want the meeting held in person, so a lawyer close to home makes the visit easier.
Can the appointment be done by video?
Usually not. Lenders generally want this meeting held in person at the lawyer's office. If getting to an office is genuinely difficult, a video call can sometimes be allowed, but it has to be agreed with the lender before the appointment is booked.
How long does the appointment take?
Usually one visit, often under an hour. The lender sends the mortgage papers to your lawyer before you meet, so the review is prepared in advance.
