Frequently asked questions
Can you handle my house closing?
In Ontario, real estate closings are handled by a real estate lawyer. We notarize the signatures on documents that need a notary, such as out-of-province or foreign deeds, mortgage documents sent by a lender, and statutory declarations.
Can you notarize documents for a property outside Canada?
Yes. Deeds, sale agreements, POAs and loan documents for property in the U.S., South Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere are commonly notarized here. Some countries then require an apostille or consular legalization.
Are U.S. closing documents valid if notarized in Canada?
Many U.S. title companies accept documents notarized by a Canadian notary, sometimes with specific wording or an apostille. Confirm requirements with the title or escrow company before your appointment.
What do I need to bring?
All unsigned pages, photo ID for each signer, and any instructions from the lawyer, lender or title company. Large packages may take longer, so tell us the page count when booking.
