This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Bill Spohn, a real estate lawyer at: 1103 - 100 Park Royal South West Vancouver, BC, CANADA V7T 1A2 (604) 926-8681 - [email protected] Has sent the following follow up advice re the transfer of property into a trust. His advice to get the answer from the bank in "writing" sure rings a bell here and would be wise for any dealings with the bank or any other financial institution. Bill's advice in maroon at the bottom. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 6:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Transfering property to a trust in Canada - does it violate ...

Excellent advice - have a lawyer read the fine print (and try to stay awake). He shouldn't lose sight of the fact that he can just ask his bank - notwithstanding the language of the mortgage (which will almost certainly be written so as to at least give them the option to call it due on transfer) - they may agree that this particular transfer meets with their approval. If it does, tell him to make sure that he gets a letter saying he has their approval. Banks seem to shuffle their personnel around about as often as George Bush makes a stupid statement (which is one heck of a lot more often than he finds any weapons of mass distraction....). The last client that felt they had the permission from their banker to do something out of the ordinary found that nothing was in writing, and their former banker was off selling life insurance somewhere when they tried to get the bank to follow through.
