Notary blog · Topic
Where a notary fits in an Ontario property deal and a business contract: gift-letter declarations, certified copies for the lender, powers of attorney witnessed for a closing, land transfer tax declarations, family transfers, landlord and tenant paperwork, and the corporate resolutions banks ask for. The closing itself stays with your lawyer. The sworn and certified paperwork around it is done here, online by video where the document allows it and in person where it does not.
