I have a house in Canada, and I'm considering selling it to my son for just one dollar. Is this legal? I understand that the market value of the house is much higher than this, but I'm doing it for sentimental reasons. Will there be any tax implications or legal issues if we proceed with this transaction? Also, should we have a lawyer draw up a contract for this? I appreciate your help in clarifying this matter for me.

An alternative approach is to designate the individual as a joint tenant.

This designation implies a 50% ownership stake for them, but both parties retain the right to reside in the property.

In Canada, it is indeed permissible to sell your house to your son for the nominal amount of $1.

The law in question does not delve into the matter of whether a transaction is financially worthwhile.
