Tell us what deadline is coming up.
When pressure starts
The first move is to slow the situation down enough to see it clearly.
A lender letter can make everything feel immediate. The practical work starts with the facts: what was sent, what is owed, what deadline is real, and what options still exist.
Notice or demand letter
Confirm the enforcement stage and whether the lender followed the right process.
Payout or arrears dispute
Review default interest, legal costs, credits, penalties, and discharge conditions.
Sale, eviction, or court step
Organize the evidence for negotiation, defence, urgent relief, or a controlled exit.
Our services
The next step depends on where the file is right now.
Choose the closest service area, or start with a document review if the lender's process, payout, or deadline is unclear.

Service pathways
Pick the situation that looks closest to yours.
Most power of sale files are really a combination of timing, accounting, lender conduct, and practical financing. These paths make the first conversation faster.
Stop or slow a power of sale
For notices, listings, payout refusals, sale pressure, or deadlines that need an immediate response.
Respond to lender demands
For missed payments, maturity defaults, private lender pressure, arrears, and payout strategy.
Prepare urgent relief
For sale closings, sheriff steps, lockouts, court papers, injunctions, and possession disputes.
Legal triage
A working plan should come from the documents, not guesswork.
The review looks for leverage and risk at the same time: what the lender can prove, what can be challenged, and what has to be done before the next irreversible step.

How the file moves
From first call to next legal step.
The goal is to leave the first review with a sequence: what gets sent, who gets contacted, what deadline matters, and what outcome is realistically being pursued.
Step one
Send the file
Mortgage, notices, payout statement, court papers, emails, and any sale or eviction documents.
Step two
Map the deadline
Identify what happens next and how much time remains to respond or negotiate.
Step three
Contact the right party
Lender counsel, broker, real estate lawyer, receiver, creditor, or court office where needed.
Step four
Act on the path
Payout, refinance, settlement, court response, controlled sale, or dispute strategy.
Frequently asked
The questions usually start here.
A few answers before the first call. The exact route still depends on the documents, lender conduct, deadlines, and equity.
View all FAQsWhat is power of sale in Ontario? + -
Power of sale is a mortgage enforcement process that may allow a lender to sell a property after default. The lender still has to follow the mortgage documents, notice requirements, accounting rules, and sale conduct obligations.
What should I do first after receiving a notice of sale? + -
Do not ignore it. Gather the mortgage, notice of sale, demand letter, payout statement, recent payment history, and lender correspondence, then get legal advice before the next deadline passes.
Can a lawyer stop a power of sale? + -
Sometimes. A lawyer may be able to negotiate a hold, challenge defective notices or accounting, help coordinate a payout or refinance, or seek urgent court relief if the facts support it.
How urgent is a power of sale notice? + -
It should be treated as urgent because enforcement timelines can move quickly. Acting early usually creates more room for negotiation, refinancing, repayment, sale planning, or court strategy.
