Our office does not prepare or witness documents for family law, such as separation agreements, although we will notarize the affidavits that are prepared elsewhere.
We can prepare authorization documents for minor children traveling without one or both of their parents. You can also download your own form from the Government of Canada here, which we are happy to witness.
We can witness documents prepared by other Lawyers or Notaries requiring witness of execution by an “Officer”, such as Land Title documents, both in BC and out of BC, and Powers of Attorney.
We witness forms that require a notary stamp, including Government forms, ICBC affidavits, foreign documents requiring a Notary as witness, insurance proofs of loss, pension and life insurance declarations, administration and probate affidavits. We also can provide proof of identity for travel and other purposes.
A Notary Public does not stamp previously prepared or signed documents to make them more legal (such as contracts, homemade Wills or Powers of Attorney, and separation agreements).
