Finalizing a property transaction? Get your documents witnessed fast. While a Real Estate Lawyer handles the transfer of title and funds, there is often a stack of supporting documents that require the signature and seal of a Notary Public.
At Canada Notary, we act as your trusted Signing Agent. Whether you are purchasing a vacation home in another province, refinancing your mortgage, or need a sworn declaration for your local lawyer, we ensure your paperwork is executed correctly, professionally, and on time.
We assist buyers, sellers, and law firms with the following:
Buying or selling property outside Ontario? If you live in Ontario but are buying a home in Alberta, British Columbia, or the USA, you typically do not need an Ontario lawyer. Instead, your out-of-town lawyer will send you the closing documents, and you need an Ontario Notary to witness your signature.
We Verify: Your identity (Government ID check).
We Witness: The mortgage, transfer of land, and statutory declarations.
We Courier: We can arrange to courier the signed package back to your lawyer.
Helping you complete requirements for your own lawyer.
Affidavits: Commissioning affidavits of possession, spousal status, or execution.
ID Verification: Many lenders require a “Certified True Copy” of your ID to prevent mortgage fraud. We provide this verification for your file.
Statutory Declarations: Commissioning declarations for First-Time Home Buyer rebates and Land Transfer Tax exemptions.
When one spouse is selling a “Matrimonial Home,” the other spouse must often sign a consent form. We notarize this spousal consent to satisfy the requirements of the Family Law Act.
Simple steps to finalize your paperwork.
Your lawyer (in BC, Alberta, etc.) emails you the closing package.
Print the documents (single-sided) and bring them to our office. Do not sign them yet!
Bring two pieces of valid ID (Passport + Driver’s License) as required by the Law Society of Ontario.
We witness your signature on all forms and apply our Notary seal where required.
You courier the signed originals back to your lawyer to close the deal.
