Deciding that now is the right time for you to sell your boat or turn ownership over to a family member may not always be an easy choice. Still, there are definitely a few good reasons for you to do so. Whether you are looking to buy a new boat or you just think the time is right for you to forgo ownership, you will need to follow a process involving paperwork. Ceding ownership is not as simple as just passing the keys and vessel over to someone else. In Canada, you must file the proper documents, and knowing what to do as part of a proper transfer of ownership can save you from potential headaches.
What to do Before Transfer
Conditions do exist that you must meet before you can file for a registration transfer with Transport Canada. If you have any type of mortgage on your vessel, the mortgage needs to be satisfied or transferred to another party before you can put in paperwork to request a transfer of ownership. Also, whoever the new owner of the vessel is going to be, if they are to have the boat registered in Canada, they must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. You do want to make sure you meet these criteria before you begin to file paperwork, so you do not encounter any problems or delays.
