In the days before possession, your lawyer orders a final title search, prepares the statement of adjustments for property tax and utility proration, and confirms the wiring instructions for your proceeds by phone rather than by email alone, which guards against payment fraud near closing.
On possession day itself, the lawyer registers the transfer with ISC and releases the sale proceeds, minus legal fees typically $800 to $1,500 and any mortgage discharge fee, directly to you. The agent's role ends once the offer is accepted; the lawyer carries the file to the finish.
