Divorce is never easy—and when property is involved, it gets even more complex. In Alberta, many couples choose to sell their home during or after a divorce to split the proceeds and start fresh. If you’re going through this transition, here’s how to handle the sale with as little stress as possible.
Who Gets What?
Under Alberta law, matrimonial property is typically split 50/50. If both spouses are on the title, you’ll need to agree on how the sale will proceed and divide the profits accordingly.
Timing Matters
Some couples wait until after divorce proceedings, while others sell during separation. Selling earlier can reduce costs and allow both parties to move forward financially.
Avoid Conflict with a Fast Sale
Traditional home sales involve repairs, showings, and waiting. That can increase tension. Selling to a cash buyer means a quick, fair sale without dragging the process out.
Benefits of Selling for Cash
- No need to agree on repairs or listing decisions
- Neutral third party handles the purchase
- Close quickly and move on sooner
