Legal Matters


Because Offer To Purchase (or Interim Agreement) forms can vary slightly from province to province, we don't offer any legally-binding versions on this site.

We have, however, prepared an Offer-To-Purchase Guide to the major elements involved, to be used either as a guide in filling out formal documents obtained from your lawyer or local stationer OR as a letter of intent, signed by both purchaser(s) and vendor(s), for the purchaser's lawyer to use in preparing a binding contract.
