Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney allows an adult to appoint another person (“Attorney”), to act on his/her behalf in all financial matters, including buying and selling real property and taking care of the adult’s banking accounts and investments. Powers of Attorney come in many forms. They can be either specific or general. As the name implies, a specific Power of Attorney is given to achieve a specific goal, like selling a real property. Once that goal has been achieved, the specific Power of Attorney is no longer valid. A general Power of Attorney can be used for any financial purpose.

Wills

Everyone should have a Will. The result of not having a proper Will could mean that in the case of the unexpected death of a loved one the family would likely have to pay more to settle the estate in court. The legal expenses for a Notary Public are significatly less to draft a simple Will. If there are minor children, things would get even more complicated. Without a Will and with no surviving parents, various relatives, close and distant would have to take it to the courts and if no relative steps forward as a suitable guardian the government would have to step in and the children may find themselves in a foster family. A simple way to prevent this scenario is to appoint a guardian in your Will.

Affidavits

Affidavits are statements of fact of diverse nature prepared in a free form by the person stating the facts (the “Declarant”) that are then either sworn (on a holy book or with a reference to God) or affirmed (declared without reference to God) to be the truth and nothing but the truth in front of a Notary Public. Affidavits can be used as evidence in various court proceedings.

Statutory declarations

Statutory Declarations are similar to Affidavits but their form is set by the government agency or body that requires their presentation in accordance with a specific law (or statute, hence the name). The most common Statutory Declaration is a construction progress payment / refund of builders’ lien holdback declaration. Another example of a Statutory Declaration is Custodianship Declaration for a Minor Foreign Student. If you do not have a printed form of the above declarations, it can be provided by my office.

Certified true copies of documents

Whenever a certified true copy of a document is required, a Notary can produce such a copy by making a photocopy of the original document, signing it and putting a stamp on it, declaring the copy to be “true” copy of the original. Whether it is a copy of your diploma, passport or birth certificate that you need, going to your Notary is a simple and easy way to obtain your certified true copies.

Letters of Invitation

When you wish to invite a family member to visit you in Canada and the family member needs a visa to enter Canada, you will have to provide a Letter of Invitation. You can write the letter yourself or ask an immigration lawyer for assistance. Once you have the letter, you will sign it in my presence and I will notarize your signature, confirming that it was you who signed it.

Contracts and Lease Agreements

Sometimes clients need help with drafting a contract or a lease agreement. A Notary Public can prepare a business agreement on your behalf. I have considerable experience in drafting Lease Agreements for small businesses and I will gladly help you if you need one.
