At Closer, we don’t just build for our clients—we build with them. Every improvement we make is for the firms that use Closer every day. This month’s product updates reflect that commitment: forward-thinking features, workflow-enhancing upgrades, and refinements that make your experience smoother, smarter, and more intuitive.

‍

Here’s what’s new this April:

‍

Jurat Signing Location Upgrades

We’ve expanded how Closer handles jurat wording and signing locations to give your firm more control—and to reduce repetitive input.

You can now set default jurat wording for each office, with support for detailed formats like City of London in the County of Middlesex. These settings will soon populate automatically in the Key Dates modal, streamlining declarations across matters.

We’ve also added the ability to specify both the witness/commissioner location and the client’s location for the jurat on a declaration—answering a long-standing request from multiple firms.

‍

Auto-Sync Teranet Fees to Docket

Teranet purchases now sync automatically to your Statement of Account or Trust Ledger, based on your firm’s fee settings—no button clicks required. You’ll see a notification when a fee is incurred, and synced fees are now viewable directly from the docket modal.

‍

Redesigned LTT & Consideration Page

Our newly updated LTT & Consideration page brings:

• A clearer layout

• Better navigation

• Support for Ontario’s new 10% Toronto Municipal Non-Resident Speculation Tax

Smarter APS Scraping for Estates, POAs, and Condos

Closer’s APS scraping engine now detects estate and Power of Attorney (POA) scenarios and creates the appropriate parties automatically when both are listed. If only one is present, we still set the relationship so you can easily link the second later.

We’ve also enhanced condo scraping—Closer now pulls condo corporation and management company information from APS documents, reducing manual entry and improving accuracy across condo transactions.

‍

Condo Corp & Management Company Relationships

You can now link condo management companies directly to condo corporations in Closer, improving structure and consistency across matters.

Once a condo corp is set, Closer automatically assigns the condo type in most cases, which updates the property type behind the scenes—making your files more complete, without extra clicks.

‍

Add Contacts to Fire Insurance Companies and Brokerages

Fire insurance just got more organized. You can now assign agents to fire insurance companies and brokers to brokerages—just like you do with real estate contacts. These contacts are also stored in the global database and crowdsourced from other firms, making it faster to add popular fire insurance contacts to future matters.

‍

Office Nicknames

You can now assign nicknames to offices—making it easier to distinguish between locations while keeping the official firm name intact. This is especially useful when multiple offices share the same office name tag but need clearer internal labels.

‍

HST Rounding Based on Your Accounting Platform

HST rounding now aligns with your chosen accounting platform to prevent minor discrepancies and keep your Statement of Account totals clean and consistent. Just another way Closer plays nicely with your workflows—without surprises.
