Meet with your lawyer to transfer the funds for the purchase 1 week prior to possession

Generally you should contact your lawyer at least two weeks before your closing date. Ensure you have provided them with all of your contract documents, your lender’s information, and your realtor’s information.  You will need to bring two pieces of identification and the final cash amount required to close the deal (your lawyer should be able to inform you of the exact amount required).  This amount will include the remainder of the purchase price (not covered by deposit or mortgage funds) plus any adjustments for property taxes and legal fees.
