Changing ownership
If an ownership change has taken place, please have your solicitor contact us at finance@oakville.ca with the legal documentation so we may facilitate the change.
Ownership can not be changed without legal documentation.
You will need to provide legal documentation to support an ownership change, such as:
- a copy of title transfer
- marriage certificate
- death certificate
An administrative fee of $50 will be charged to the account upon the change of ownership.
