Stéphane Côté Law provides reliable and personalized legal services for members of the Canadian Armed Forces and federal employees navigating relocations under BGRS (Brookfield Global Relocation Services). The BGRS platform is a central part of the federal government’s relocation system and plays a vital role in helping military personnel manage their transition from one post to another. We understand how crucial it is to meet BGRS documentation and timeline requirements, especially during military relocation in Ontario or compressed House Hunting Trip (HHT) windows.
We assist with legal document preparation, title searches, purchase and sale reviews, and closing coordination for home transactions tied to your BGRS-funded move. Our real estate law team in Ottawa can also guide you through understanding which legal expenses may be reimbursable, helping ensure your paperwork is correctly prepared for submission through the BGRS portal. Whether you’re purchasing your next home or selling your current property before posting, we ensure your legal process is clear, compliant, and stress-free.
We are highly familiar with its structure and work regularly with BGRS relocation realtors and professionals. Our priority is protecting your legal and financial interests throughout your move, while giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on your family and service commitments.

As a home buyer, you have the right to a clear title and full disclosure about the property. Your obligations include securing financing, paying closing costs, and fulfilling the stipulations of your purchase agreement. At Stéphane Côté Law, we help you understand and exercise your rights, and meet your obligations.
Title insurance is protection against financial loss from defects in the title, liens, and other issues. While not mandatory, at Stéphane Côté Law, we often recommend it for extra protection.
